A 13.5-kg block of metal displaces 5 liters of water when submerged. What kind of metal is likely to compose the block?
Kind of metal that the block is composed of.
Answer to Problem 52A
The metal block is likely to be composed of aluminum as
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass of metal block,
Volume of block,
Formula Used:
The density is given as,
Where,
Calculation:
The volume in m3 is,
So, the density of block is
Since the density is
So the metal block is likely to be composed of aluminum.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the metal block is likely to be composed of aluminum as
