Question
![A cube of lead with a side dimension of 5.0 cm is slowly lowered into the beaker of oil by a thin string attached
to a spring scale at a constant rate, as shown in the figure. The density of lead is 11,300 kg/m³.
oil density:
960 kg/m3
1
2
3
0.0010 m³ beaker
i. What will be the spring scale reading in newtons when the lead has been submerged to location 2?
ii. Does the spring scale reading increase, decrease, or stay the same when the cube is lowered from location
2 to location 3? Justify your answer by referencing the pressure of the fluid on the lead cube.
iii. The lead cube is lowered from above the oil's surface (location 1) to a spot just below the surface (location
2) until the cube is just above the bottom of the beaker (location 3). Describe any changes in pressure on
the bottom of the beaker during this process. Explain your answer.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2c5d7cca-51e3-4cb6-bf10-0b3316d7fed6%2F23f68f68-dfd3-4f53-a5ab-40b5839badac%2Ftlez5zj_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
