Answer:
The weight of the girl = 1045.86 kg/m³
Step-by-step explanation:
Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to the volume of that body. The S.I unit of density is kg/m³.
From Archimedes principle,
R.d = Density of the person/Density of water = Weight of the person in air/Upthrust.
⇒ D₁/D₂ = W/U............................... Equation 1.
Where D₁ = Density of the person, D₂ = Density of water, W = Weight of the person in air, U = Upthrust in water.
Making D₁ the subject of the equation,
D₁ = D₂(W/U)................................... Equation 2
Given: D₂ = 1000 kg/m³ , W = 509.45 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air - weight in water = 509.45 - 22.34 = 487.11 N
Substituting these values into equation 2
D₁ = 1000(509.45/487.11)
D₁ = 1045.86 kg/m³
Thus the weight of the girl = 1045.86 kg/m³
