Question

A block of aluminum with a weight of 10 N is placed in a beaker of water filled to the brim. Water overflows. The same is done in another beaker with a 10-N block of lead. Does the lead displace

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Weight of the aluminium block = 10 N

Weight of the aluminium lead = 10 N

We know that

Weight = Volume x Density x g

Wt= V x ρ x g

The density of aluminium ,ρ=2810 kg/m³

The density of lead ,ρ=11343 kg/m³

From above we can say that density of lead is more than the density of aluminium that is why the volume of the aluminium will be more than the volume of the lead for same weight.So aluminium will displace the water but lead will not displace the water.

So the answer is ,lead does not displace the water.
