A block is placed in a tank of water and floats as shown The water level rises to height Δh1 The block is then taken out and a block of the same weight but smaller volume that also floats is placed?

Archimedes principle states that a floating body displaces its own weight of water. The density of the water is fixed so the volume displaced by a floating body is is the same for floating bodies of the same weight. The water level will still be delta h1 as the volume of the block is not relevant to the amount of water displaced.

How do you find the volume of an ingot?
Length x width x height = volume.
What is the definition of the volume of a pyramid?
Volume = 1/3*(base area)*height
How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism relates to the volume of a tringular prism if the two have the same lengthwidthand height?
The volume of a rectangular prism is found by; Volume = Length x Width x Height The volume of a triangular prism is found by; Volume = 1/2 x Length x Width x Height Therefore, Length, Width and Height being identical, 1) the volume of a rectangular prism is twice that of a similar triangular prism OR 2) the colume of a triangular prism is half that of a similar rectangular prism.
What is the formula to find volume in cubes?
The term cubic applies to cubes, cuboids, and other parallelograms, which have 3 dimensions - length, width, and height for example. To find the volume, multiply the length times the width times the height in any consistent units. The formula is L x W x H.
What metric system would be used to mesaure volume?
Liters, or for a smaller volume, milliliters.
Why does the ship floats while a coin sinks?
because a ship has big volume and a coin has small volume hence the smaller the area the bigger the pressure,the smaller the area the big the volume
Does a bar of soap have volume?
Yes it does. It has height, width and length. As you use it, the volume becomes less as the bar becomes smaller.
Why do some float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume
How do you find the volume of a cylinder that is smaller on one end?
To find the answer to this question you would have to know how to find the volume of a cone. First, find the angle of the side to the base to determine at what height a cone would be formed if the sides of the cylinder extended all the way up to a single point. This would be the height of the cone. Take this number and put into the equation Assuming you know the radius of the cylinder at the bottom, the wider side. Next, subtract the total height of the cone from the height of the cylinder you want to know the volume of. You will now be finding the volume of the smaller cone within the larger cone. Put the smaller height into the above equation now using the radius of the top part of cylinder. Subtract this total from the total volume of the biggest cone and you will have the volume of a cylinder that is smaller on one end.
When a rock is placed in a graducated cylinder containing water the height of the water will?
The height of the water will rise a level equal to the volume of the rock.
How does the volume of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
Well usually, the bigger the volume, the better it floats. But mostly, it matters about how much mass an object contains.
Spaghetti sauce comes in large and small cylindrical cans. The larger can has a radius and height that are both three times longer than the radius and height of the smaller can. If the volume of the s?
the volume of the larger can is 952.56 inches cubed -apex
The reason a ship floats is because?
The basic reason that a ship floats is that the enclosed volume in the ship's hull is greater than the volume of water which has the same mass as the ship.
Why would one rock float while one sinks?
The rock that sinks has a higher density than the rock that floats. (The only rock that floats is pumice.) More specifically, for a rock to float it must have a lower density than the fluid it is placed in. This will mean that a given volume of the material will have a smaller mass (and hence weight) than the fluid it displaces. As such the material will have positive bouyancy and will tend to float on top of the more dense material.
How do you find the height of a cylinder when you have the radius and volume?
pi*radius2*height = volume Make the height the subject of the above formula:- height = volume/pi*radius2
If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the whole object?
False - Apex
If an object floats the volume of the displacement water is equal to the volume of the whole object?
False - Apex
