Question

An object of volume 0.0882 m3 is

immersed in a fluid; it experiences a
buoyant force of 671 N. What is the
density of the fluid?
[?] kg/m3​

Answer 1

776.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The density of the fluid is 776.3
`m^(-3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Buoyant force is the upward pushing force whenever an object is trying to get immersed in fluid. So this is the force given by the fluid on the object which is trying to get immersed. The buoyant force is found to be directly proportional to the product of density of the object, volume of the object. And here the acceleration due to gravity will be acting as proportionality constant.

`Buoyant force = Density * Volume * Acceleration`

As, buoyant force is given as 671 N and volume is 0.0882
`m^(3)` and acceleration is known as 9.8 m/
`s^(2)`. Then density is

`\text { Density }=\frac{\text { Buoyant force }}{\text {Volume } * \text {Acceleration}}`

Thus,

`\text { Density }=(671)/(0.0882 * 9.8)=(671)/(0.86436)=776.296 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^(3)`

Density is 776.3 kg
`m^(-3)`.
