Question

When an object is suspended from a spring balance (figure (a)) the reading is 7.00 N. When the suspended object is submerged in water (figure (b)) the reading is 5.30 N. Determine the density of the object. How are the tension in the string, buoyant force, and weight of the object related? How is the buoyant force related to the weight of water displaced? kg/m^3 spring scale spring scale Ta Mog FB Tb Mog (a) (b)
