B19 An object with a volume of 1.0 x 10 m' and density 4.0 x 10* kgm- floats on water in a tank of cross-sectional area 1.0 x 10 'm. (a) By how much does the water level drop when the object is removed? (b) Show that this decrease in water level reduces the force on the base of the tank by an amount equal to the weight of the object. (Density of water = 1.0 x 10' kg m)

B19 An object with a volume of 1.0 x 10 m' and
density 4.0 x 10 kg m- floats on water in a
tank of cross-sectional area 1.0 x 10 'm2.
(a) By how much does the water level drop
when the object is removed?
(b) Show that this decrease in water level
reduces the force on the base of the tank
by an amount equal to the weight of the
object.
