What can be the maximum mass of a solid block of dimension 15 cm long, 10cm width
and 5 cm thick, if it floats on water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

A

1225

Density of water, ρ=1000 kg m

−3

According to Archimedes principle, the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

Volume of water displaced = 50×50×50×10

−6

m

=0.125 m

3

Weight of water displaced = 0.125×1000×9.8=1225 N

X=1225
