QUESTION:
The volume and the average density of an irregularly shaped body are to be determined by using a spring scale. The body weighs 7200 N in air and 4790 N in water. Determine the volume and the density of the body. State your assumptions.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
The two assumptions are
The buoyancy force in air is negligible.
The body is completely submerged in water.
We have to find the volume and average density of the irregular the irregular body
Given
Weight of the body in air = 7200 N
Weight of the body in water = 4790 N
V=?
