Answer:
7066kg/m³
Explanation:
The forces in these cases (air and water) are: Fa =mg =ρbVg Fw =(ρb −ρw)Vg where ρw = 1000 kg/m3 is density of water and ρb is density of the block and V is its density. We can find it from this two equations:
Fa /Fw = ρb / (ρb −ρw) ρb = ρw (Fa /Fa −Fw) =1000·(1* 21.2 /21.2 − 18.2)
= 7066kg/m³
Explanation:
Answer:
The volume of the block is 306 cm³
The density of the block is 7.07 g/cm³
Explanation:
Given;
weight of block in air, [tex]W_a[/tex] = 21.2 N
Weight of block in water, [tex]W_w[/tex] = 18.2 N
Mass of the block in air;
[tex]W_a = mg[/tex]
21.2 = m x 9.8
m = 21.2 / 9.8
m = 2.163 kg
mass of the block in water;
[tex]W_w = mg[/tex]
18.2 = m x 9.8
m = 18.2 / 9.8
m = 1.857 kg
Apply Archimedes principle
Mass of object in air - mass of object in water = density of water x volume of object
2.163 kg - 1.857 kg = 1000 kg/m³ x Volume of block
0.306 kg = 1000 kg/m³ x Volume of block
Volume of the block = [tex]\frac{0.306 \ kg}{1000 \ kg/m^3}[/tex]
Volume of the block = 3.06 x 10⁻⁴ m³
Volume of the block = 306 cm³
Determine the density of the block
[tex]Density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\\\Density =\frac{2163 \ g}{306 \ cm^3} \\\\Density = 7.07 \ g/cm^3[/tex]
