A rock is suspended from the lower end of a light string. When the rock is totally immersed in water, the tension in the string is 1.20 N. When the rock is totally immersed in ethanol, the tension in the string is 1.60 N. Calculate the weight of the rock.

Respuesta :

For a rock is suspended from the lower end of a light string,  the weight of the rock is mathematically given as

W = 3.10 N

What is the weight of the rock.?

Generally, the equation for the W = Fh1+  is mathematically given as

W = Fh+T1

Where

PiVg+T1 = P2V9+T

(1000) V(9.8) + 1.2 = (790) V(9.8) + 1.6

V = 1.944* 10^-4 m3

In conclusion

W = Fh+T1

W = (1000) (1.944 * 10-4) (9.8) + 1.2

W = 3.10 N
