A metal chunk is completely submerged in an oil bath of density roil = 0.7 g/mL. The metal has density of 7g/mL. The reading on the scale indicates that the metal has apparent weight of 49 N. What is the volume of this metal?

Step 1
First, we need to find the buoyant force acting on the metal. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. We can use the formula: Buoyant force = (density of fluid) × (volume of fluid displaced) × g Show more…
