A piece of material of mass 100g is immersed in a measuring cylinder having water at a mark of 30ml. The water level rises to 38ml. Calculate the loss of weight of the piece of material.and also the buoyant force experienced by the piece of material.


ojaswi7: thanks a lot for answering this too..................
Jahnvi97: You are welcome!

Initial water mark on cylinder = 30ml
final water mark on cylinder = 38ml
volume of water displaced = 38 - 30 = 8ml

8ml = 8cm³
density of water = 1g/cm³
mass of water displaced = density*volume = 1 *8 = 8g = 0.008 kg

loss of weight = weight of water displaced = 0.008*9.8 N =0.0784 N
Loss of weight is same as the buoyant force.
So buoyant force is also 0.0784N

Jahnvi97: Yes!
ojaswi7: Because the weight of water displaced= the weight of the substance immersed and not the loss of weiyth
ojaswi7: *weight
Jahnvi97: "the weight of water displaced= the weight of the substance"
That holds only when the substance is floating on the water.
Jahnvi97: If it is immersed, then "the weight of water displaced= the weight loss of the substance"
ojaswi7: seriously??????
ojaswi7: oh..
Jahnvi97: yeah..seriously!! you can check it..
ojaswi7: fine and thanks
Jahnvi97: see some example with iron ball and wooden object.

the loss of weight will be equal to the buoyant force so the answer is 0.0784N
