Answer:
the buoyant force acting on the ice cube is 0.119 N
Explanation:
given,
volume of ice cube = 15 cm³ = 15 × 10⁻⁶ m³
density of ice cube = 917 kg/m³
density of ethyl alcohol = 811 kg/m³
buoyant force = ?
The density of ice is more than ethyl alcohol hence it will sink.
buoyant force acting on the ice cube = ρ V g
= 811 × 15 × 10⁻⁶ × 9.81
=0.119 N
so, the buoyant force acting on the ice cube is 0.119 N
