Question

an object of volume 200 cubic cm is floating on a fluid with half of its portion inside the fluid . Find the volume and weight of fluid displaced by object

Answer 1

Volume of fluid displaced = Half of the volume of object
= 200 cm³ / 2
= 100 cm³

Weight for fluid displaced = Vρg
= 100 cm³ × 1 g/cm³ × 10⁻³ kg/g × 9.8 m/s²
= 0.98 N
≈ 1 N
