from apparent weight, and density of the liquids...
apparent weight= W-bouyancy
1) apparent weight in alcohol
= 15.2=W-densityalcohol*volume*g
2) apparent weight in water
= 13.7=W-densitywater*volume*g
Two equations, two unknowns (W and volume), so it can be solved.
w=15.2+denstiyalcohol*volume*g
w=13.7+densitywater*volume*g
set the w equal
15.2+densityalcohol*volume*g=13.7+densitywater*volume*g
look up the two densities, solve for volume.
An object is solid throughout. When the object is completely submerged in ethanol alcohol., its apparent weight is 15.2 N. When completely submerged in water, its weight is 13.7 N. What is its volume? Steps please.. answer isnt really necessary
