Question

Station 2 Wood blocks that have different masses and different volumes are floating in water. On top of these blocks are additional masses as shown. 20 g M = 10 g V = 40 cm³ A 10 g M = 20 g V = 80 cm³ B 10 g M = 10 g V = 40 cm³ C 20 g M = 30 g V = 80 cm³ D Calculate the magnitude of the buoyant force (in Newtons) exerted by the water on each of the wood blocks. Block A (2 pts) Block B (2 pts) Block C (2 pts) Block D (2 pts)

Step 1

This is known as Archimedes' principle. The weight of the water displaced is equal to the volume of the object submerged in the water times the density of the water times the acceleration due to gravity. The density of water is approximately 1000 kg/m³ and the Show more…
