Question

Hydrostatic weighing first uses Archimedes' principle to calculate body _________, and then it uses this information to calculate body _________.

a. volume; density
b. density; volume
c. mass; density
d. volume; mass

Answer 1

Answer:(c)mass, Density

Step-by-step explanation:

First the mass of the body is calculated using the buoyant force and then the density of the body is calculated.

`F_B=mg=\rho _f\cdot v_d\cdot g`

where
`F_B`=buoyant force

m=mass of object

`\rho _f`=density of fluid

`v_d`=displaced volume
