QUESTION:

An object weighing 300 N in air is immersed in water after being tied to a string connected to a balance. The scale now reads 265 N. Immersed in oil, the object appears to weigh 275 N. Find (a) the density of the object and (b) the density of the oil.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

Weight of the object in the air: \(W_{a}=300 N\)

Weight of the object in water: \(W_{w}=265 N\)

Weight of the object in oil: \(W_{o}=275 N\)
