Answer:
The correct answer is = 1.6
Explanation:
Density of water = 1000kg/m³ = d₁
Mass of brick = 4kg = m
Density of brick = 2.5 g/cm³ = 2.5 × 1000 =2500 kg/m³ = d₂
Volume of brick = m/d₂ = 4/2500 =16/10000 = 0.0016 L = v
Buoyant Force = v × d₁ × g (g= acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s²)
= 0.0016 × 1000 × 9.8 = 15.68 Newtons
By the Archimedes' Principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by an object.
Weight of the water displaced=Buoyant Force
=Mass of water displaced × g,
as weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity
15.68= mass of brick × 9.8
15.68/9.8 =Mass of water displaced
1.6 kg = Mass of water displaced
