To solve the problem, we need to use the principle of buoyancy, which states that the buoyant force acting on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data - Density of the solid (\( \rho_B \)) = 2.5 kg/m³ - Volume of the solid (\( V \)) = V (unknown) - Volume of the solid submerged in the fluid = \( \frac{1}{3}V \) ### Step 2: Write the Equation for Buoyant Force ...
