A cannonball weighs 124.0 N in air, 89.0 N in salt water, and 30.0 N in an unknown liquid, Find the densities of the following: The cannonball, and the unknown liquid

Respuesta :

The densities of the cannonball and the unknown liquid are 3.54kg/m³ and  2.686 kg/m³.

What is the buoyant force?

When an object is fully or partially submerged in liquid, the vertical upward thrust is acting on the object, this force is called the buoyant force.

Salt Water exerts a buoyant force to the cannon ball  = 124−89 = 35N, which equals the weight of water displaced.

The mass of water displaced is  

W/g =35/10 =3.5 kg.

Since the density of salt water is 1kg/L, the volume displaced is 3.5L.

Therefore the density of the cannon ball is  

=(124/10) /3.5 =3.54kg/L = 3.54kg/m³

The unknown liquid exerts a buoyant force of 124−30=94 N.

The density of this liquid is  (94/10) /( 3.5​ )=2.686 kg/liter = 2.686 kg/m³

Thus,  the densities of the cannonball and the unknown liquid are  3.54kg/m³ and  2.686 kg/m³.
