A scientist is calculating the density of an ore sample. The scien- tist measures that the ore sample weighs 22.4 N in air. When the sample is suspended by a thin light cord and totally immersed in water, the tension in the cord is 14.2 N. What is the density of the ore sample that the scientist calculates. You can assume that any buoyant force from air is negligible.

How do you find the magnitude of buoyant force on an object dropped into a fluid given both the fluid density and object density? How do you then use this information to determine what fraction of the object is submerged?
Archimedes’ Principle states that the upward or buoyant force on an object within a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. For a partially submerged object, you can obtain information about the relative densities of the floating object and the fluid by observing how much of the object is above and below the surface. You can also determine the size of a floating object if you know the amount that is above the surface and the relative densities. You can see the top of a floating iceberg (see figure). The density of ocean water is 1.03 × 103 kilograms per cubic meter, and that of ice is 0.92 × 103 kilograms per cubic meter. What percent of the total iceberg is below the surface?
What happens to an object that is immersed in a liquid and the buoyant force that it experiences is larger that its weight?. Explain.
Which of the following is NOT true for a ship floating in seawater? a. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the ship. b. The buoyant force is greater than the weight of the ship. c.

The gravitational force exerted on a solid object is 5.50 N as measured when the object is suspended from a spring scale as in Figure a. When the suspended object is submerged in water, the scale reads 3.44 N (Figure b). Find the density of the object. kg/m3 Scale
