A block of a plastic material floats in water with 42.9% of its volume under water. What is the density of the block in kg/m3?

adell [148]

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 $429kg / m ^ 3$

Compare and contrast repetition and replication in a science investigation

Bas_tet [7]

Repetition occurs when multiple sets of measurements are made during one scientific investigation. Replication occurs when a scientific investigation is <span>reproduced by another person.
