Explanation Given data: Mass of the soapstone cube is 55 g, Density of soapstone is 3000 kg m 3 , and Density of whiskey is 940 kg m 3 . Formula used: Write the expression for buoyant force. F B = ρ f V f g (1) Here, F B is the buoyant force, ρ f is the density of fluid, V f is the fluid displaced, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Write the expression for density. ρ = m V (2) Here, ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume. Explanation: Consider the conversion factor for g to kg. 1 g = 10 − 3 kg Convert the value by using conversion factor. 55 g = 55 1000 kg = 0 .055 kg Rearrange equation (1) to solve for V . V = m ρ Substitute 5 × 10 − 3 kg for m and 3 , 000 kg m 3 for ρ , V = 0
