Question

for performing an experiment to verify archimedes principle a student used a spring balance to measure the weight of a solid the solid was then lowered in water contained in an overflow can and the water displaced by solid was collected in a graduated cylinder . Find the volume of water displaced by solid

Answer 1

According to the Archimedes principle the volume of water displaced by a solid object is proportional to weight of the object .
Volume displaced = weight of the solid

Answer 2

Answer:

The volume displaced by the solid will be equal to the weight of the solid.

Explanation:

Given condition: For performing a test to affirm Archimedes precept a student used spring stability to degree the burden of a solid. The solid becomes then diminished in the water contained in an overflow can and the water displaced through strong become accrued in a graduated cylinder.

According to Archimedes' principle, a body immersed in a fluid is subjected to an upwards force same to the weight of the displaced fluid.

Therefore, the volume displaced by the solid is equal to the weight of the solid.
