Question 2 0.5 pts
An aluminum block with mass m=270 g is completely submerged in a beaker water without touch any bottom or wall. How much of the buoyancy force is the block received? (Hint, the volume of block can be figured out by the density of aluminum LaTeX: ho=2.7g/mL or 2700 kg/m3)

0.98 N
2.65 N
9.8 N
0.27 N

Explanation / Answer

According to the given problem,

a) The weight of the block,

W = mg = 40*10-3*9.81

W = 0.392 N [B]

b) The buoyancy force is the block received,

F = waterVg

F = 1000*(m/alu)*9.81

F = 0.981N[A]
