A gold block of volume 0.19 m3 is suspended from a spring scale and immersed in a flask of water. Then the gold block is removed, and an aluminum block of the same volume replaces it. (a) In which case is the buoyant force the greatest, for the gold block or the aluminum block? gold block aluminum block the buoyant force is the same for each Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) In which case does the spring scale read the largest value? gold block aluminum block the scale reading is the same for each Correct: Your answer is correct. (c) Use the known densities of these materials to calculate the quantities requested in parts (a) and (b). Compare your calculations (for consistency) with your previous answers to parts (a) and (b). (The density of gold is 1.93 ✕ 104 kg/m3 and the density of aluminum is 2.70 ✕ 103 kg/m3.)
