An object with a mass of 34.0 g and a volume of 41.0 cm3 is placed in a liquid with a density of 1.25 g/cm3. Find the volume of the part of the object that is NOT submerged in the liquid. Give your answer in cm3 and with 3 significant figures.

- theres no + B in the equation
The displaced liquid must have the same weight at the floating object:
34g
Bouyancey=34=density*volumesubmerged
volume submerged=34/1.25 cm^3
Volume not submerged=41-volumesubmerged.
