If the ship only sinks 2.5 centimeters, then the heigth of the portion underwater would increase by only 2.5 cm, or the portion above would decrease by that ammount.

Why do battleships float if they are more dense than water?

It is the shape of the battleship, it is a wedge that displaces the water and gets an equal forced pushed back on it so it stays afloat Another reply: The battle ship is NOT denser than water. A piece of metal is denser than water, but the battleship also has spaces with air inside.


An object has a weight of 14n in the air it apparently weighs only 3n when it is completely submerged in water what is the density of the object?

Since the DENSITY of WATER = 1, and the Weight is 14 Newtons (in air) and 3 Newtons (Submerged in Water) we can figure the Density of the Object by the following: N = kg·m/s2 14 N = (Mass of Object) x 9.81 m/s2 (Mass of Object) = 14 N / 9.81 m/s2 (Mass of Object) = 1.427 kg And Since IN WATER the Object is 3 Newtons: 3 N = (1.427 kg x 9.81m/s2 ) / (Density of Object) 3 N = (14 N) / (Density of Object) Density of Object = (14 N) / (3 N) Density of Object = 4.6667


Is the density of an object bigger in one piece or two?

The answer to that question is: No. The density of an object only depends on the substance its made of. If two samples are made of the same substance, then it doesn't matter if one is the size of a grain of sand and the other is the size of a battleship ... they have the same density.


How many weight 1 liter coke?

The density of coke is very nearly 1.0 . Density doesn't depend on how much of it you have.


How much does technetium weigh?

The density of technetium is approx. 11 g/cm3.


What is the weight of plutonium?

The density of plutonium at room temperature is 19,816 g/cm3.


What is the density of a cylinder that is 20Cm high with a diameter of 12Cm if the cylinder weighs approximately 6.1kg?

Weight is measured in Newtons, not kg. A kilogram measure mass.The density is approx 2.7 grams/cubic cm.


How to calculate weight of Expandable Polystyrene Thermocol if density is given?

density= mass/ volume (if you want the weight then you have to multiply the mass by 9.8, however I am sure that you mean the mass. Mass= kg, Weight= Newtons)


What is the weight of a cubic meter?

mass = density * volume weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity W = (2400 kg/m^3)*(1 m^3)*(9.8 m/s^2) = 23520 Newtons convert to pounds 23520 Newtons = 5287.5 lbs (note 1 lb is approximately 4.448 Newtons)


Why Battleships floats and does not sink?

An object will float if it has less density than water. In the case of the battleship, you have to consider the total mass - the metal of the ship, plus any contained air.


How many ml of water with a density of 1g slash ml are required to weigh point 75 newtons?

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)0.75 newton = (mass) x (9.8 newtons per kilogram)Mass = 0.75/9.8 = 0.07653 kilogram (rounded) = 76.53 gramsVolume = mass/density = (76.53 grams)/(1 gram slash ml) = 76.53 ml
