The side of this cube will be 2.9996 cm. The net force on the solid cube is acting upward.
What is buoyancy force?
A fluid exerts an upward force against the weight of a partly or completely submerged item. The weight of the overlying fluid causes pressure to rise with depth in a column of fluid.
Given data;
Actual weight.W=0.714 N
Apparent weight,W'=0.450 N
The density of water,ρ=1000 kg/m³
The net force on the solid cube is;
Apparent weight = actual weight - buoyancy force
Buoyancy force = Actual weight - apparent weight
F=W-W'
F = 0.714 - 0.450
F= 0.264 N
The buoyancy force(F) is found as;
F = ρgV
0.264 = 1000 × 9.81 × V
V=2.69 × 10⁺⁵
The volume of a cube is found as;
V=a³
2.69 × 10⁺⁵ m³=a³
a=0.02996 m
As we know that 1 m = 100 cm
a=2.996 cm
Hence, the side of this cube will be 2.9996 cm.
