A wooden cube with a side length of 10 meters is submerged in water. 45% of its volume is submerged. Find the tension in the spring scale attached to the cube.
Added by Stephanie T.
Step 1
The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cube is given by: \[ V = \text{side length}^3 \] For a cube with a side length of 10 meters: \[ V = 10^3 = 1000 \, \text{m}^3 \] Show more…

A hollow plastic cube is held below the surface of a freshwater lake by a cord tied to the bottom of the lake. The cube has sides of length of 0.46 m and the tension in the cord is 730 N. The density of freshwater is 1000 kg/m^3. (a) Draw a free body diagram showing the forces acting on the cube. (b) Find the mass of the cube. (c) A freshwater shark then bites the cord in half, and the cube rises to the surface. When the cube comes to rest, what fraction of its volume will be submerged?

A cube with 25-cm-long sides is sitting on the bottom of an aquarium in which the water is one meter deep. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. Recall that the weight density of water is 1000 kg/m3.) (a) Estimate the hydrostatic force on the top of the cube. N (b) Estimate the hydrostatic force on one of the sides of the cube. N

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.
