Question

A body weighs 10N in air and 8N when completely immersed in a liguid of density 0.86gcm1. Determine the volume of the body.

Answer 1

A body weighs 10N in air and 8N when completely immersed in a liguid of density 0.86gcm1. Determine the volume of the body.

Body weight in air = 10 N

body weight in liquid = 8 N

The density of liquid = 0.86 gcm1

_____________________________

We got 2 Equation :-

w = 10 N -------------> 1

w-¶ w = 7 N ----------> 2

_________________

Formula used :-

v×(997-1.225) kg/m³

v= 0.003 . ( calculated in attachment sheet )

_________________

The total volume of the body is 0.003
