a solid cubic centimeter of platinum weighs 21.5 N. if this cube of platinum is placed under water, what volume of water is displaced? what weight of water is displaced? (Hints: 1 cm3 of water has a mass of 1 gram; 1 gram weighs 0.0098 N; density of platinum = 21.5 g/cm3.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mp =Pp g    where p = density of solid Platinum

Wp  = Mp Pp g     weight of mass M

Volume displaced is 1 cm^3

Weight of water = .0098 N   since 1 cm^3 displaced

Or Ww = 1 cm^3 * .001 kg / cm^3 * 9.8 N/kg = .0098 N
