Question

You, Archimedes, suspect that the king's crown is not solid gold but is instead goldplated lead. To test your theory, you weigh the crown, and find it to weigh 60.0 N and to have an apparent weight of 56.2 N when it is completely submerged in water. What is the density of the crown? 15789.5 kg/m^3 19300 kg/m^3 11300 kg/m^3 7500 kg/m^3

Step 1

Given: Apparent weight of the crown = 56.2 N True weight of the crown = 60.0 N Buoyant force = True weight - Apparent weight Buoyant force = 60.0 N - 56.2 N Buoyant force = 3.8 N Show more…
