Question

A body of mass 120 kg with a density of 600kg/m3 floats on water what should be the additional mass that can be put on the bject to make it just sink

Answer 1

Answer:

For this question we have to know the archemidis principle, which is: When a body floats on any liquid, the gravitational force on it equals the product of density of water, volume body submerged and g.

So, when the body is fully submerged..

(M+m)g=dVg,

M is mass added and m is initial mass.

d is density of any liquid in which body is submerged.

V is volume of body submerge, in this case whole volume which can be calculated by given info.

So you should get M by this equation….
