. A nearly weightless but rigid mild carton of 1L is held submerged under water
(a) What mass of water displaced by it?
(b) What weight of water displaced by it? (g = 10m/sec2)
Best Answer
(a) Volume of water displaced = 0.001 m3
Density of water = (1000 kg/m3)
d=m/v or m = dV
m = dV = (1000 kg/m3) 0.001 m3) = 1kg
(b) w = mg = (1 kg) (10 m/sec2) = 10 N
