Question
The density of un-set concrete is 2.40 x 10 3 kg/m 3 . When a block with volume 0.0708 m 3 is
submerged in the liquid, a force of 66.7 N is needed to keep it from sinking.
Find the weight of the block?

Answer:
1665 N
Explanation:
The weight of an object is the gravitational force that pulls the object towards the Earth’s centre. Its magnitude is given by
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
The mass of an object can be rewritten as
where
V is the volume of the object
So the weight can be rewritten as
For the block of concrete in this problem we have:
So the weight of the block is:
