Question

A body, with a volume of 2 m3, weighs 40 kN. Determine its weight when

submerged in a liquid with SG = 1.59.

Answer 1

8.8 kN

Step-by-step explanation:

V = 2 m³, W = 40 kN, SG = 1.59

Bouyant force N = 1.59 * 1000 kg/m³ * 9.81 N/kg * 2 m³ = 31.2 kN

So the weight becomes 40 - 31.2 = 8.8 kN
