Concept explainers
Phil can support 100 N of iron
Weight supported by person P in the air.
Answer to Problem 53A
The weight supported by person P in air is 87 N.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Weight supported by person P in water is 100 N.
Density of iron,
Formula Used:
The buoyancy force is given as,
Where,
Calculation:
When the iron is supported in water, the buoyancy force on iron is
Taking density of water
Now substituting the value in above equation
There the weight that person P can support in the air is the difference of weight in water and buoyancy,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the weight supported by person P in air is 87 N.
