A block of wood of weight 200 g floats on the surface of water. If the volume of block is `300 cm^(3)` calculate the upthrust due to water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Upthrust of floating object = weight of the water displaced
Weight = mg
` = 0.200 Kg xx 10m//s^(2)`
` 2 N `

Let us suppose you have two blocks and you do not know what material they are made of. The volume of one block is 30 cm^(3) while the other is 60 cm^(3). The second block is heavier than the first. Based on this information, can you tell which of the two blocks is denser?

The lower surface of a slab of stone of face-area 3600cm^(2) and thickness 10cm is exposed to steam at 100^(@)C . A block of ice at 0^(@)C rests on the upper surface of the slab. 4.8g of ice melts in one hour. Calculate the thermal conductivity of the stone. Latent heat of fusion of ice =3.36 xx 10^(5) J kg^(-1)
