Answer:
61 N
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the mass of the brick when placed in water. This can be obtained as follow:
Volume of brick = 1900 cm³
Density of water = 1 g/cm³
Mass of brick in water =…?
Density = mass / volume
1 = mass of brick in water / 1900
Cross multiply
Mass of brick in water = 1 × 1900
Mass of brick in water = 1900 g
Next, we shall convert 1900 g to Kg.
1000 g = 1 Kg
Therefore,
1900 g = 1900 g × 1 Kg / 1000 g
1900 g = 1.9 Kg
Next, we shall determine the weight in water. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 1.9 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Weight (W) =?
W = m × g
W = 1.9 × 10
W = 19 N
Thus, the weight of the brick in water is 19 N.
Finally, we shall determine the apparent weight of the brick in water. This can be obtained as follow:
Weight in air = 80 N
Weight in water = 19 N
Apparent weight =?
Apparent weight = weight in air – weight in water
Apparent weight = 80 – 19
Apparent weight = 61 N
