QUESTION:

The densities (g/mL) of several substances are: acetic acid, 1.05; CCl4, 1.59; S, 2.07; Li, 0.53; Hg, 13.5; PbO2, 9.4; Pb, 11.4; Ir, 22.5. From Figure 2-9, predict which substances will have the smallest and largest buoyancy corrections.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

From figure 2-9 it was observed that the substances with density 8  have the buoyancy correction 1. Buoyancy correction increases with decrease in density.
