Question

A block has a volume of 0.09m3 and a density of 4000kg/m3. What's the force of gravity acting on the block in water

Answer 1

3,528 N

Step-by-step explanation

density = mass/volume

ρ = m/v

∴ m = ρv

= 4000 × 0.09

= 360 Kg

Weight is defined as the force that acts on a body and is directed towards the center of the earth.

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = mg Where g = 9.8 m/s²

W = 360 × 9.8

= 3,528 N

Answer 2

Volume=0.09m³

Density=4000kg/m³

Force=?

Density=mass/volume ⇒mass=volume×density

m=0.09×4000=360kg

Force=mass×accelaration

F=360×9.8

F=3528N
