Not what you're looking for?
1. A mass is hung on a scale and while hanging the mass is submerged in water. The scale read .45 kg when submerged. When the mass is submerged the water displaced is 100 cm^3. What is the magnitude of the mass?
2. A car with windows closed floats in water when 50% submerged. If 1 m^3 of water seeps into the car it becomes totally submerged. What is the mass of the car?

Solution Summary
The mass of an object submerged in water is determined.
Solution Preview
1. 0.45 Kg = 450 g
Weight in water(apparent weight) = actual weight - weight of water displaced(loss in weight)
450 g = M - 100 g ... ( 100 cm^3 of water weighs 100g )
M = 450 + 100
= 550 g
= 0.55 Kg
The mass is 0.55 Kg.
2. Floating bodies ...
