BuoyancyMediumQuestion 6438

Question

A body weighs 50 N in air and 35 N in water. Volume of body (g=10 m/s², ρ_water=1000):
  1. A
    1500 cm³
    Correct
  2. B
    1000 cm³
  3. C
    3500 cm³
  4. D
    500 cm³

Correct answer

1500 cm³

Explanation

Buoyancy = 50−35 = 15 N = ρ_water×V×g. V = 15/(1000×10) = 0.0015 m³ = 1500 cm³.
