A body weighs 3.5N in air and 2N in water. a)What is the buoyant force acting on the object ? b) What is the weight of the displaced water ? c) Find the volume of the object in cm3 if density of water is 103 Kg/m3 ?
Added by Ruben M.
Step 1
Buoyant force = Weight in air - Weight in water Buoyant force = 3.5 N - 2 N b) The weight of the displaced water is equal to the buoyant force acting on the object. Weight of displaced water = Buoyant force c) Show more…
