<h3>
Answer:</h3>
5.5 N
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Real weight of an object in air as 10 N
- Apparent weight in water as 7 N
- Relative density of a liquid is 1.5
We need to calculate the apparent weight when in liquid .
- First we calculate upthrust
Upthrust = Real weight - Apparent weight
= 10 N - 7 N
= 3 N
- Then calculate the upthrust in the liquid.
we need to know that;
Relative density of a liquid = Upthrust in liquid/Upthrust in water
Therefore;
1.5 = U ÷ 3 N
Upthrust in liquid = 3 N × 1.5
= 4.5 N
- Therefore, the upthrust of the object in the liquid is 4.5 N
But, Upthrust = Real weight - Apparent weight
Therefore;
Apparent weight in Liquid = Real weight - Upthrust
= 10 N - 4.5 N
= 5.5 N
Thus, the weight when the object is immersed in the liquid is 5.5 N
Answer:
Reverse check the answer
Explanation:
I believe it is very important that once someone is done with any calculation, the person ought to go over the calculations again. And even, recheck the answer in inverted form.
This is so because while doing the calculations, we can possibly make errors that we won't notice until after submission. Knowing 2 * 3 = 6, but writing 2 * 3 = 5 in the course of calculations can happen to anybody. So therefore, cross checking and reverse checking is needed
The answer is 2.93m (to 2 dp)
