the answer is most likely likely to be 2
Answer:
B a measure of the amount of matter in an object
The bouyancy force is:
Since the wood-lead system is completely submerged, the bouyancy force
is FB = ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb, where Ďw is the density of water,Vl
is the volume of
the piece of lead and Vb is the volume of the wooden block. The weight of the
combined lead and wooden block is: W = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb. Since the system is
in equilibrium, the bouyancy force must be equal to the total weight:
ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb
now we can solve for the volume of lead:
ĎwgVl â’ ĎlgVl = ĎbgVb â’ ĎwgVb
Vl(Ďw â’ Ďl) = Vb(Ďb â’ Ďw)
Vl =
Ďbâ’Ďw
Ďwâ’Ďl
Vb
Now we substitute the values for the density of lead Ďl = 11.3 Ă— 103kg/m3 ,
the density of the wood and the density of water Ďw = 1000kg/m3
. We get:
Vl =
600â’1000
1000â’11300
(0.6m Ă— 0.25m Ă— 0.08m) = 4.66 Ă— 10â’4m3
