In class, we saw a video of a solid iron anvil floating on a pool of liquid mercury:
If the specific gravity of liquid mercury is 13.6 and the specific gravity of iron is 7.8, approximately what percentage of the iron anvil will be submerged?
42.65% will be submerged
57.35% will be submerged
174.36% will be submerged
71.32% will be submerged
A 3.1 kg block of ice; with volume 0.2 m3 floats on a bucket full of acetic acid.
What is the buoyant force on the block of ice; in newtons?
NOTE: Your answer must be within 0.1 of the correct answer:
