A cubic block of steel that measures 12. cm on a side is suspended in a saltwater bath by a vertical string. The steel block is completely submerged, but it does not touch the bottom surface. The string applies just enough force to keep the block from sinking further. What force does the string apply to support the block? Density of steel: 8050 kg/m3 Density of saltwater: 1030 kg/m3
Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight. This also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone in air and in water and finds its mass is 46.0 g and its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (the bone is watertight). What mass of water is displaced? mass of water displaced: kg What is the volume of the bone? volume of the bone: m3 What is its average density? average density of the bone: kg/m³ about us privacy policy terms of use contact us help careers
