An object weighs 15 N in air and 13 N when submerged in mineral spirits, which has a density of 788 kg/m3. Determine the density of the object

Respuesta :

The density of the object is 5911.94 kg/m³

An object's buoyancy is the upward force produced by a fluid in opposition to the weight of a partly or totally submerged object.

The buoyancy = weight of the object - weight in water

= 15 N - 13N

= 2 N

The buoyancy force can also be determined by using the expressed:

[tex]\mathbf{F_B = Volume (V) \times density ( \rho) \times g}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{2 = Volume (V) \times788 \ kg/m^3 \times9.8 }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{ Volume (V) = \dfrac{2}{ 788 \ kg/m^3 \times9.8 }}[/tex]

volume (v) = 2.589 × 10⁻⁴m³

Recall that:

The mass of an object can be estimated by using the formula:

Weight = mass × gravity

mass = Weight / gravity

mass = 15/9.8

mass = 1.5306 kg

The density of the object can now be calculated using the relation

Density = mass/volume

Density = 1.5306 kg / 2.589 × 10⁻⁴m³

Density = 5911.94 kg/m³
