Chapter 19, Problem 9A
How does the volume of a completely submerged object compare with the volume of water displaced?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Compare: The volume of a completely submerged object with the volume of water displaced.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An object is submerged in a liquid takes the space in liquid by displacing liquid around it.
A wholly submerged object displacesthe volume of liquid equal to its own volume. For example, a stone is submerged in water, water level in the container would rise. The rise in water level happens because water is displaced by thestone. The volume of water displaced by the stone is equal to volume of stone.
Conclusion:
An object displaces liquid equal to its volume when submerged in liquid.
