A cube of side 10 cm is held by a string under water. If the cube is totally immersed and its density is 700 kg/m^3 and that of water is 1000 kg/m^3, find the tension on the string.
Added by John R.
Step 1
First, we need to find the volume of the cube. The volume of a cube is given by the formula V = a^3, where a is the side length. In this case, a = 10 cm = 0.1 m. So, the volume of the cube is: V = (0.1 m)^3 = 0.001 m^3 Show moreā¦

A cube of mass 0.7 kg and side length 10 cm is fully submerged in water (Ļ = 1000 kg/mĀ³) and held in place by a taut string tied to the bottom (Figure 7). (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the cube (b) Calculate the tension in the string (hint: the mass of a certain volume (V) of fluid can be written as ĻV; and remember what buoyant force equals)

The block has a mass of 0.500 kg and its density is 2.7 x 10^3 kg/m^3 when suspended from a string. Find the tension on the string when the block is completely immersed in water.
