Question

Define Archimedes principal .the realities density of silver is 10.8 calculate the density of silver

Answer 1

a law stating that a body totally or partially immersed in a fluid is subject to an upward force equal in magnitude to the weight of fluid it displaces

We know that, relative density of a substance = Density of the substance / Density of water Relative density of silver = Density of silver / Density of water10.8 = Density of silver / 1000 kg m-3Density of silver = 10.8 * 1000 kg m-3 = 10800 kg m-3
