An object weighs 15n in air and 13n when completely
submergedin water. what is the volume of water displaced by
thesubmerged ofject?

The volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes' principle,

Upthrust = lost in weight = weight of water displaced.

U = W₁ - W₂ Equation 1

Where U = upthrust, W₁ = weight in air, W₂ = weight when completely submerged in water.

Given: W₁ = 15 N, W₂ = 13 N

Substituting these values into equation 1

U = 15 - 13

U = 2 N

But,

Weight of water displaced = mass of water displaced. × acceleration due to gravity.

Mass of water displaced = weight of water displaced/ acceleration due to gravity Equation 2

Where: acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², weight of water displaced = 2 N

Substituting these values into equation 2

Mass of water displaced = 2/9.8

Mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg.

Also,

Volume of water displaced = mass of water displaced/ Density of water Equation 3

Where Density of water = 1.0 kg/m³, mass of water displaced = 0.204 kg

Substituting these values into equation 3 above,

Volume of water displaced = 0.204/1

volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

Therefore the volume of water displaced = 0.204 m³

the answer is d. 4
