Answer:
The weight of brick in the oil is 26.50 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
Weight of brick = 5 kg
Weight of brick in air = 48 N
Initial volume of oil = 100 L
Density of oil = 1082 kg/m³
We need to calculate the final volume of oil
Using Archimedes principle,
Change in volume = Volume of the bricks
Density of bricks = 2000 kg/m³
Change in volume,
[tex]V'=\dfrac{m}{\rho} [/tex]
Put the value in to the formula
[tex]V'=\dfrac{5}{2000}[/tex]
[tex]V'=0.0025\ m^3[/tex]
The final volume is
[tex]V''=V+V'[/tex]
[tex]V''=0.1+0.0025[/tex]
[tex]V''=0.1025\ m^3[/tex]
We need to calculate the weight of the brick in oil
[tex]W=\rho_{oil}\timesV_{dis}\times g[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]W=1082\times0.0025\times9.8[/tex]
[tex]W=26.50\ N[/tex]
Hence, The weight of brick in the oil is 26.50 N.
