Question
A $500-\mathrm{g}$ wooden block is lowered carefully into a completely full beaker of water and floats. What is the weight of the water, in newtons, that spills out of the beaker?
Step 1
We know that 1 gram is equal to 0.001 kilogram. So, the weight of the wooden block in kilograms is: \[500 \, \text{g} \times 0.001 \, \text{kg/g} = 0.5 \, \text{kg}\] Show more…
