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?

To find the volume of an ingot, you can measure its length, width, and height and then multiply these dimensions together. The formula for calculating volume is Volume = length x width x height. This will give you the total space that the ingot occupies.


What is the total pressure in of the mixture after it is placed in a container one half the volume of the original container?

When the mixture is placed in a container half the volume of the original container, the total pressure increases by a factor of two due to Boyle's Law, which states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional as long as temperature is constant. So, the total pressure of the mixture in the smaller container will be double the pressure of the mixture in the original container.


What is the volume of a prism with height of 2m and length of 3m?

To calculate the volume of a prism, you need to know the base area and the height. While the height is given as 2 meters and the length as 3 meters, the base area is not specified. Assuming the base is a rectangle with a width, the volume can be calculated using the formula: Volume = Base Area × Height. Without the width or base area, the volume cannot be determined.


How can the part of the specimen floats in water?

If a part of a specimen floats in water, it likely has a lower density than water. The density of an object is determined by its mass and volume. Therefore, the part of the specimen that is floating likely has a volume that displaces enough water to support its mass, resulting in it floating.


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.

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 do you get the volume of something that floats?

To find the volume of something that floats, you can measure the amount of water it displaces when submerged. The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object. This can be calculated by measuring the change in water level before and after submerging the object.

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
