Answer:
In answering the question of why bodies float higher in saltwater than in freshwater, your friend replies that the reason is that saltwater is denser than freshwater. (Does your friend often answer questions by reciting only factual statements that relate to the answers but don’t provide any concrete reasons?) How would you answer the same question?
A metal bowl with a weight of 1.20 N is placed in a large and content filled with castor oil. How much castor oil must the bowl displace in order to gloat? For reference, the mass density of cash to oil is about 961 g/L and its weight is about 9.42 N per liter. Give your answer in liters.
