Recall the main idea of the principle.
What does Archimedes' Principle state?
Think about the balance between weight and buoyant force.
True or False: A heavier object will always sink in water.
Consider density and displacement.
A solid cube with a volume of 0.5 m³ is submerged in water. Calculate the weight of the water displaced.
Use the weight formula and the density of water.
An object weighs 15 N in air and 10 N when submerged in water. Determine the density of the object assuming water's density is 1000 kg/m³.
Remember the relationship between weight, volume, and density.
