Question

An iron block of volume 0.20m3 is suspended from aspring scale and immersed in a flask of water. then the iron blockis removed, and an aluminum block of the same volume replacesit.
A) in which case is the buoyant force the greatest, for the ironblock or the aluminum block?
B) in which case does the spring scale read the largest value?
C) use the known densities of the materials to calculate thequantities requested in parts (a) and (b). are your calculationsconsistent with your previous answers to part (a) and (b)?

Explanation / Answer

A . buoyant force =weight of the body =mg=vdg hence thogh the volumes   are same as density ofiron is more than the density of aluminium buoyant force willbe more in the case of iron B the iron block loose more mass than aluminium .hence spring balancereads more for aluminium
