Answer:
Explanation:
Calculate the mass of this object:
Multiple the mass of this object by the gravitational field strength,
, to find the weight of this object:
.
Since this object is floating in water, the buoyancy force on it should be equal to its weight:
By Archimedes’ Principle, the weight of the water that this object displaces would be equal to
, the size of buoyancy force on this object,
Hence, the weight of water displaced would be
.
Divide this weight by
to find the mass of water displaced:
Assume that the density of water is
. The volume of water displaced would be:
