is a body of mass 2 kg and density 8000 kg M -3 is completely immersed in a liquid of density 800 kg and -3 calculate the weight of the liquid displaced by it
Answers
Answer: The force exerted by a liquid on an object dipped in it will be
F = ρgV
where ρ is the density of the liquid, V is th volume of the object immersed in the liquid and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
So
here
ρ = 800 kg/m3
g =10 m/s2
and V = mass/density = 2/8000 = 2.5 X 10-4 m3
thus,
F = 800 X 10 X 2.5 X 10-4 = 8 X 2.5 X 10-1
or
F = 2 N
Explanation:
Here, mass of the body in air, M=2.0kg
density of the body, d=9000kgm3
Density of the liquid, dl=800kgm3
volume of the body, V=Md=2.0kg8000kgm3
Volume of liquid displaced when the body is completely dipped in it = volume of the body =2.5×10−4m3
mass of the liquid displaced, m=Vdl=(2.5×10−4m3)(800kgm3)=0.2kg
weight of the liquid displaced, Wl=mg=(0.2kg)(10ms2)=2N
Force of buoyancy, FB=Wl=2N
