Question
The reading on a spring balance when a block of wood is suspended from it is 5N. When the block is completely submerged in water, the reading of the spring balance is 1N.
A) state the forces that act on the block when it is completely immersed in water.
B) Determine the volume of the block
C) explain why the of the spring balance will increase when the wooden block is completely submerged in paraffin instead of water.

(1 Point) The volume of displaced fluid is equal to the object's volume. The volume of displaced fluid is less than the object's volume. The volume of displaced fluid is greater than the object's volume. The volume of displaced fluid is not related to the object's volume.ption 4arrow_forwardA scale reads 256 N when a piece of copper is hanging from it.

- An incompressible box is completely submerged in water at a depth of 60m. The volume of the box is 8L and it has a mass of 30 kg. The buoyant force on the box is 70N.. If the box is brought to a depth of 90m, stae what the mass of the box ,volume of the box and buoyant force on the box will be? Choose one correct answer with the correct units of measure. A. Mass = 70kg Volume = 8L Buoyant force = 30N B. Mass = 30kg Volume = 8 m3 Bouyant force = 70 pound C. Mass = 30kg volume = 8L Buoyant force =70N D. Mass = 8 kg Volume = 30L Buoyant force = 70Narrow_forwardBird 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 water light) a. What mass of water is displaced? b. What is the volume of the bone? c. What is its average density?arrow_forwardA cube-shaped block A of side length a is hanging from a spring balance D, which reads, in units of mass, Mp.
