Question

a 1-L aluminum block and a 1L wooden block identical in size and volume when dropped from a height of 4.9 m into water what happens to each block as they go towards their final equilibrium position (a) at equilibrium which one has greater buoyant force acting on it?(b) answer same question, if the block were identical in mass. Explain your answer to each with physics rationale a 1-L aluminum block and a 1L wooden block identical in size and volume when dropped from a height of 4.9 m into water what happens to each block as they go towards their final equilibrium position (a) at equilibrium which one has greater buoyant force acting on it?(b) answer same question, if the block were identical in mass.

Explanation / Answer

Given

   1 L of aluminium and 1 L of wooden block are released from a height 4.9 m in to water

as we know that the density rho = m/V ==> m = rho*v

and the density of aluminium is more than wood so the mass of aluminium is more than mass of wood

we know tha the buoyance force is
a)
       W = rho_f*V*g

       mg = rho_f*V*g
so the buoyance force on aluminium block will be more than wooden block

b)

   if both are of same mass and same volume then the buoyance force is same on both of them
