Concept explainers
If a 1-L container is immersed halfway in water, what volume of water is displaced? What is the buoyant force on the container?
Volume of water displaced and buoyant force on the container.
Answer to Problem 36A
Volume of water displaced is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Volume of container is 1 liter.
The container is immersed halfway in water.
Formula Used:
The weight of displaced liquid is given as
Where,
Calculation:
As the container is immersed halfway in water.
So, volume displace by container is
From Archimedes principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight displaced liquid.
Taking
Conclusion:
Therefore, the volume of water displaced is
