How could you use Archimede's principle to determine the relative density of brass metal?
Answers
Answer:
The buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
Explanation:
This principle is useful for determining the volume and therefore the density of an irregularly shaped object by measuring its mass in air and its effective mass when submerged in water (density = 1 gram per cubic centimeter). This effective mass under water will be its actual mass minus the mass of the fluid displaced. The difference between the real and effective mass therefore gives the mass of water displaced and allows the calculation of the volume of the irregularly shaped object (like the king's crown in the Archimedes story). The mass divided by the volume thus determined gives a measure of the average density of the object. Archimedes found that the density of the king's supposedly gold crown was actually much less than the density of gold -- implying that it was either hollow or filled with a less dense substance.
I hope this will helps you plz mark as brainliest answer and also like my answer plz.
