The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the problem step by step. ### Given: - Mass of the body, \( m = 3.5 \, \text{kg} \) - Volume of water displaced, \( V_{\text{displaced}} = 1000 \, \text{cm}^3 \) ### Step 1: Calculate the Volume of the Body According to Archimedes' principle, the volume of the body is equal to the volume of water displaced when the body is fully immersed. \[ V_{\text{body}} = V_{\text{displaced}} = 1000 \, \text{cm}^3 \] To convert this volume into cubic meters: \[ 1000 \, \text{cm}^3 = 1000 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^3 = 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3 \] So, the volume of the body is: \[ V_{\text{body}} = 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Upthrust on the Body The upthrust (or buoyant force) acting on the body can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Upthrust} = V \cdot \rho \cdot g \] Where: - \( V \) is the volume of the body (or water displaced) = \( 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3 \) - \( \rho \) is the density of water = \( 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)) Substituting the values: \[ \text{Upthrust} = 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3 \times 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \times 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] Calculating: \[ \text{Upthrust} = 10^{-3} \times 1000 \times 9.8 = 9.8 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Apparent Weight of the Body in Water The apparent weight of the body in water can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Apparent Weight} = \text{True Weight} - \text{Upthrust} \] Where: - True Weight = \( m \cdot g = 3.5 \, \text{kg} \times 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 34.3 \, \text{N} \) - Upthrust = \( 9.8 \, \text{N} \) Substituting the values: \[ \text{Apparent Weight} = 34.3 \, \text{N} - 9.8 \, \text{N} = 24.5 \, \text{N} \] ### Summary of Results 1. Volume of the body: \( 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3 \) 2. Upthrust on the body: \( 9.8 \, \text{N} \) 3. Apparent weight of the body in water: \( 24.5 \, \text{N} \) ---
