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 45.0 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? kg/m3 average density of the bone:

You threw a box full of your ex’s things with dimensions of 0.15 [m] × 0.25 [m] × 0.30 [m]. It floated along a lake with the broadest face facing down. The box is submerged to a height of 0.05 [m]. What is the mass of the piece of box? The density of water is 1000 [kg/m3].
Buoyancy In the buoyancy lab, you find that the buoyant force is equal to 2.50 N. Given that the density of water is 998 kg/m³, find the volume of the object in cm³. You may use g = 9.8 m/s² 256 m³ 2505 cm³ 256 cm³ 0.0256 cm³ 0.2505 cm³
help A piece of wood floats in water. It measures 49 cm x 12 cm x 11 cm, and has a density of 500 kg/m3. Find the percent of the wood that's underwater, if the density of water is 1000 kg/m3 Hint: Answer should be between 0 and 100 % Buoyancy problem: draw the wood and the forces on it - namely gravity pulling down and the buoyant force of the water pushing up ∑F = 0 the buoyant force = Fb = density of fluid x g x Volume underwater = density of fluid x g x percent * total volume solve for percent
If blood with a speed of 11.0 cm/s and density of 1043 kg/m3 travels from a 0.030 mm diameter capillary to a 0.0400 mm diameter capillary with a 2.00% increase in density, what is its new speed? Why the change in density?
You need to determine the density of a ceramic statue. If you suspend it from a spring scale, the scale reads 28.4 N. If you then lower the statue into a tub of water so that it is completely submerged, the scale reads 17.0 N. What is the density?
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 49.3 g and its apparent mass when submerged is 4.06 g (the bone is watertight). (a) What mass (in g) of water is displaced? (b) What is the volume (in cm3) of the bone? (c) What is its average density (in g/cm3)?
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.
A garden hose having with an internal diameter of 1.7 cm is connected to a (stationary) lawn sprinkler that consists merely of an container with 23 holes, each 0.20 cm in diameter. If the water in the hose has a speed of 0.93 m/s, at what speed does it leave the sprinkler holes? m/s

A scale reads 100 N when a piece of aluminum is hanging from it. What does it read when it is lowered so that the aluminum is submerged in water? The mass density of aluminum is 2700 kg/m^3. Be careful, you are given mass density instead of weight density, and we are using SI units.i need answer in problem sigfig
