A steel block has a volume of 0.08m3 and a density of 7840kgm3 what is the force of gravity acting on the block in water?

Density = 7,840 kg/m3 Volume = 0.008 m3 (= 8 liters). Mass = (7,840 x 0.008) = 62.72 kg Force of gravity on the block = (9.8 x 62.72) = 614.656 newtons (138.27 pounds) Bouyant force = weight of 8 liters of water = 78.4 newtons (17.64 pounds) Weight of the block in water = (614.656 - 78.4) = 536.256 newtons (120.64 pounds)


A block of wood 3.0cm on each side has a mass of 27g what is the density of this block?

A cube, with 3cm sides, has a volume of 3x3x3 = 27cc The weight is 27grammes. Density = weight / volume = 27g / 27cc = 1g/cc = 1000Kg/M3 A relative density of 1.0 (same as water)


Can you put a cinderblock on a egg?

If you place it on the point of the egg then yes an egg can hold the weight of a cinder block. The egg has to be perfectly vertical. You can also try to smash an egg from the points with your hand, and you will not be able to.


Why does a block of plastic realeased under water come up to the surface of water?

Any time a mass is less dense than the liquid it is in, it will float. Said another way, when a volume of anything weighs less than the weight of the same volume of the liquid, it will float in that liquid. This applies to all fluids and gases, including why a hydrogen or helium balloon rises in the atmosphere, and how a submarine floats or sinks by altering the amount of weight on board (by intaking or expelling water, while its volume is a constant.) The plastic floats because it is less dense than the water (less weight compared to the same volume of water).

What is the weight of a standard concrete masonry block?

The dry weight of a medium density concrete block (215 x 450 x 100mm thick) is approximately 7.5Kg --- There are many different sizes, shapes and mixes used to make concrete block. Additionally the weight varies if the unit is wet or not since they absorb water. I see varying weights of 35 to 55 pounds for 8x8x16 block.


Can a concrete boat float?

Yes- because they are not a solid block of concrete- they are hollow with a large air space. The weight of the water displaced is greater than the weight of the hollow concrete hull, and it will float.
