Question

Calculate the buoyant force (in N) on a 1.0 m^3 chunk of brass submerged in a bath of mercury.

Answer 1

133280 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume, V = 1 m^3

density of mercury, d = 13.6 x 10^3 kg/m^3

Buoyant force, F = Volume immersed x density of mercury x g

F = 1 x 13.6 x 1000 x 9.8

F = 133280 N
