To solve this problem we will apply the principle of buoyancy of Archimedes and the relationship given between density, mass and volume.

By balancing forces, the force of the weight must be counteracted by the buoyancy force, therefore

\sum F = 0

F_b -W = 0

F_b = W

F_b = mg

Here,

m = mass

g =Gravitational energy

The buoyancy force corresponds to that exerted by water, while the mass given there is that of the object, therefore

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = mg

Remember the expression for which you can determine the relationship between mass, volume and density, in which

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \rightarrow m = V\rho

In this case the density would be that of the object, replacing

\rho_w V_{displaced} g = V\rho g

Since the displaced volume of water is 0.429 we will have to

\rho_w (0.429V) = V \rho

0.429\rho_w= \rho

The density of water under normal conditions is 1000kg / m ^ 3, so

0.429(1000) = \rho

\rho = 429kg/m^3

The density of the object is 429kg / m ^ 3

Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is from Tech B.

Explanation:

The relay is an electromagnetic device, which is stimulated by a very weak electrical current to open or close a circuit.  It functions as a switch controlled by an electrical circuit in which, by means of a coil and an electromagnet, a sequence of one or several contactors is activated that allow to open or close other electrical circuits independent of the one that controls it.

MissTica

Answer: Tsunami.

Explanation :

Tsunami is the result of a sudden vertical offset in the ocean floor and is most often the result of plate movement on the ocean floor.

Tsunami is caused due to the displacement of a large volume of water like in an ocean. It consists of a series of waves. It destroys coastlines and coastal settlements. It is also known as a tidal wave.

So, the correct option is (b) Tsunami.

the density of a steel is 7.8.find the mass of steel cube of side 10 cm. find volume of steel if the mass is 8kg​
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Mass of the steel cube =  7800 kg

Volume of the steel  = 1.025 cubic centimetre

Explanation:

Given:

The density of the steel   =  7.8

Side of the cube = 12 cm

<u>(1)The mass of steel cube :</u>

We know that,

Density  = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

We are given with density and sides of the cube

then volume of the cube

= (side)^3

= 10^3

= 1000 cubic centimetre

Now

7.8 = \frac{mass}{1000}

mass = 7.8 \times 1000

mass =  7800 kg

<u>(2)volume of steel:</u>

Given the mass  = 8 kg

Density  = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

Substituting the values

7.8 = \frac{8}{volume}

volume = \frac{8}{7.8}

volume = 1.025 cubic centimetre
