e mass, and float the boat in the water. Which of the following statements are true? (There may be more than one correct choice.)
A. The sunken lead displaces a volume of water equal to the lead's own volume.
B. The floating lead displaces a volume of water equal to the lead's own volume.
C. The sunken lead displaces a volume of water whose weight equals the lead's weight.
D. The floating lead displaces a volume of water whose weight equals the lead's weight.

A. The sunken lead displaces a volume of water equal to the lead's own volume.

B. The floating lead displaces a volume of water equal to the lead's own volume.

C. The sunken lead displaces a volume of water whose weight equals the lead's weight.

D. The floating lead displaces a volume of water whose weight equals the lead's weight.

Explanation:

All the answers are correct based on the Archimede's principle.

Archimede's principle states that "a body that is totally or partially submerged in water is acted upon by a buoyant force usually called the thrust that is equal to the weight of water displaced".

  • The volume of the weight of water displaced can also be measured.

In the sunken lead, the volume of water it displaces is the same as the volume of lead. This volume of water is the same as the weight of the lead.

In floating lead in the boat, the volume of water displace is the same as the weight of the lead.

How do I find the x and y components and the resultant force?​
Dafna11 [192]

Explanation:

1) the diagonal force times the sine of the angle it makes will give you the vertical component or y component . use this to get the vertical components of all the diagonal forces . add all the vertical components as well as the vertical forces together

2) the diagonal force times the cosine of the angle it makes gives the horizontal component or x component. do this to get the x component of all the diagonal forces.

add all the x components as well as the horizontal forces together to get the final x component

3)using the triangle of vectors, the resultant force is calculated

sum of y component = 3.2N

sum of x component= 5.7N

resultant force = 6.5N

Define one metre length​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The metre is currently defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1299 792 458 of a second. The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km
