When a chunk of iron is completely submerged into a cylindrical tank of water, the water rises 6 inches. The diameter of the tank is 18 inches. What is the volume of the chunk of iron?
... such as small brick is submerged in water, it will displace a quantity of water equal to its volume. This fact can be used as a method for measuring volumes. ...
... a) what is the volume of the water displaced? ... The volume of water displaced can be obtained bu dividing the mass of water displaced by the density of water. ...
... Hence. Volume of displaced water = Volume of the block = Mass / density = m/d. ... Hence. Volume of displaced water = Volume of the block = Mass / density = m/d. ...
... The buoyant force = volume of cube * density of water (fluid displaced). ... The buoyant force = volume of cube * density of water (fluid displaced). ...
... (B) Weight of raft floating in sea = weight of water displaced = volume of water displaced x density of water = 4.5 m^3 x 1000 Kg/m^3 = 4500 Kg Volume of raft ...
... 0.1 ft = 8 x 12 x 0.6 x 12 x 0.1 x 12 cubic inch = 829.44 in^3 = 13602.8 cm^3 ..... 1 in^3 = 16.4 cm^3 ) Volume of water displaced = 13603 cm^3 Mass of ...
... This is also the volume of the displaced water, hence the buoyancy force applied on the cylinder by the water is the weight of the displaced water: ...
