Explanation:
Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force which is exerted on body when immersed whether fully submerged or partially in the fluid is equal to weight of fluid which body displaces and this force acts in upward direction at center of mass of displaced fluid.
Thus,
<u>Weight of the displaced fluid = Weight of the object - Weight of object in fluid.</u>
Answer:
<h3>1/16</h3>
Explanation:
According to the coulombs law, the force existing vetween the ions is expressed as;
F = kQq/r² .... 1
Q and q are the ions
r is the distance between the ions
If the distance between the ion is quadrupled, then;
F2 = kQq/(4r)²
F2 = kQq/16r² ... 2
Divide equation 2 by 1;
F2/F = kQq/16r² ÷ kQq/r²
F2/F = kQq/16r² × r²/kQq
F2/F = 1/16
F2 = 1/16 F
Therefore the coulombic force between two ions is reduced to<u> 1/16 </u>of its original strength when the distance between them is quadrupled.
