B19 An object with a volume of 1.0 x 10 m' and density 4.0 x 10* kgm- floats on water in a tank of cross-sectional area 1.0 x 10 'm. (a) By how much does the water level drop when the object is removed? (b) Show that this decrease in water level reduces the force on the base of the tank by an amount equal to the weight of the object. (Density of water = 1.0 x 10' kg m)
