Explanation:

When an object is placed inside water, an upward force is exerted by water called as buoyant force.

An object will float or sink, this completely depends on the density of object. Also, if the magnitude of gravitational force is more as compared to the buoyant force the object will sink otherwise float.

If the density of substance is more than water, it will sink and if the density of substance is less than water it will float.

Bourne believed that an object would float or sink at will as long as he could <span>manipulate the effect's of buoyancy which control and object to sink or float. Hope this helps!

Answer:

2491.23 kg/m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = weight of object in air/ upthrust in water = density of the object/density of water

⇒ W/U = D/D' ....................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the ceramic statue, U = upthrust of the ceramic statue in water, D = density of the ceramic statue, D' = density of water.

Making D the subject of the equation,

D = D'(W/U).................... Equation 2

Given: W = 28.4 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air- weight in water

U = 28.4 - 17.0 = 11.4 N,

Constant: D' = 1000 kg/m³.

Substitute into equation 2,

D = 100(28.4/11.4)

D = 2491.23 kg/m³

Hence the density of the ceramic statue = 2491.23 kg/m³

Calculate the orbital period for Jupiter's moon Io, which orbits 4.22×10^5km from the planet's center (M=1.9×10^27kg) .

Verdich [7]

According to the <u>Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion</u> “<em>The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.</em>

In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period $T$ of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size $a$ of its orbit.

This Law is originally expressed as follows:

Where;

$G$ is the Gravitational Constant and its value is $6.674(10^{-11})\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$

$M=1.9(10^{27})kg$ is the mass of Jupiter

$a=4.22(10^{5})km=4.22(10^{8})m$ is the semimajor axis of the orbit Io describes around Jupiter (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)
