How will you measure volume of a body lighter than water?

In order to measure volume, one normally sees how much water it displaces. If the body floats, the water displaced will be equal to the weight of the body, not the volume. It will be necessary to force the body down so that it is totally submerged. If there is an anchor and chain below the surface, the water displaced when the body is attached and submerged will have the same volume as the body.


Is a body totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water less than its volume?

No, a body totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.


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 could you determine your mass using water a bathtubsomething to measure water with and Archimedes' princilpe?

First, measure the mass of the water in the bathtub using a scale. Next, immerse yourself completely in the water and measure the increase in water level using a measuring cup. This increase in volume of water displaced is equal to your body volume. Finally, apply Archimedes' principle which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the water displaced, to calculate your mass.


Which weighs more you or your volume of water?

if you are talking about the same glass that had water in it and THEN froze, then my friend the weight is the same. Ofcourse this is correct only if while freezing, no water spilled out of the glass (because ice takes up more space than water.

When body is immersed in water then water equal to the volume explain this?

The water displaced by the body is equal to its volume.


The volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's above the surface of the water?

This statement is not correct. The weight of the water displaced by a body in it, is equal to the buoyancy force that the body will experience. In the case the body floats on the surface of water, the weight of the water displaced by the body is equal to the weight of the body.


What is prenciple?

When a body or object is immersed in water that its volume is equal to the water displaced.


How is bouyant force of water related to the volume of the body placed inside it?

The buoyant force acting on a body in water is directly proportional to the volume of water displaced by the body. This is known as Archimedes' principle. The greater the volume of water displaced, the greater the buoyant force exerted on the body.

Greek scholar Archimedes


How did Archimedes find the volume of an irregular shape using water?

Archimedes took a bowl full of water of known volume and then dipped the irregular shape body. Amount of water fall down is measured and is the volume of that body.


Weight or volume of a fluid displaced bya floating body?

The weight of the fluid displaced by a floating body is equal to the weight of the floating body itself. This is known as Archimedes' principle. The volume of fluid displaced by a floating body is equal to the volume of the part of the body that is submerged in the fluid.


What relation do you find between the weight of the floating body and the waight of water that is displaced?

They are equal.When a boat is floating on water it displaces water equal to its weight(Archimedes Principle). As the density of water is less than boat so water displaced is greater than volume of boat. When the boat sinks water displaced is equal to volume of boat. So less water is displaced in 2nd case and consequently water level goes down.Note - relation between volume(v) mass(m) and density(d) : d = m/v


Is a body totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water less than its volume?

No, a body totally submerged in a liquid displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.


How could you determine your buoyant force acting on you when you are floating in water?

Use Archimedes' Principle: the buoyancy force of a submerged (or partially submerged) object is the weight of the volume of water that the object displaces. In other words, find the volume of the object that is under water, and multiply that by the density of water (1000 kg/cubic meter) and gravity (9.8 meter/sec/sec).
