we know that a liquid contained in a vessel exerts pressure at all points and in all directions. the pressure at a point in the liquid is same in all directions. it increases with depth inside the liquid. when a body, say a block, is immersed in a liquid, the pressure exerted upwards on the lower surface of the block(which is at a greater depth) is more than the pressure exerted downwards on the upper face of the block(which is at a lesser depth). thus there is a pressure difference between the lower and upper face of the block. since force=pressure x area, the difference between the pressures due to liquid on the two faces of the block causes the net upward force(i.e., upthrust) on the body.

yes it does

this is because some liquids will be more dense than other

an example would be custard and water

custard has a lot more particles than water and that is why it thick so if lets say a wooden block would sink in water it may not sink in the custard cause the the custard is denser than wooden block

hope this helps

if a substance has more particles in a smaller space (higher density), then the substance can be less easily displaced and has a higher upthrust

If you know the weight in air and in liquid then the difference between the two is the upthrust.

How does upthrust vary liquid of different densities?

if a substance has more particles in a smaller space (higher density), then the substance can be less easily displaced and has a higher upthrust


Do different liquids expand by different amounts for the same rise in temperature?

Yes, different liquids have different coefficients of volume expansion, which means they expand by different amounts for the same increase in temperature. This is because the molecular structure and composition of liquids vary, leading to different responses to changes in temperature.


What would cause the density of pennies to vary?

Cents have been made of different metals over the last 150 years, so they'd have both different weights and densities. 1864 - mid-1982 except for 1943 : 95% copper / 5% tin and zinc. 1943 : steel with a thin coating of zinc mid-1982 - present : zinc with a thin coating of copper


Why is volume not always a good way to measure how much mater you have?

Yes, volume is an unreliable measure of the quantity of matter as the same material can have different densities, but the same volume. For example, 1L of ice, water, and steam all contain the same volume of water, but the number of atoms in that volume can vary.


What is 300 ml in grams?

There can be no conversion. A kilogram is a measure of mass. A millilitre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.

How many ml equals 10 pounds?

10 pounds of what? Different liquids have different densities, so the answer will vary significantly. Are they imperial or US pounds? 10 Imperial Pounds of Water has a volume of 45,461 mL.


How can igneous rocks be different densities?

Igneous rocks vary greatly in composition and method of formation, resulting in diverse densities.


Two identical flasks containing different liquids are placed on identical balances one weighing 22.57g and the other weighing 30.05g what property differs between the two liquids?

Their densities. Their volumes. Their solute molarity. How can I tell? Density = grams/milliliters so, three things can vary here, but since they are different liquids and I may assume the same volume, though you did not say that, I will say Density, final answer.


Can two unidentified liquids with different densities be the same liquid?

It depends how you mean when you are asking... If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical formula?" then the answer is yes, a simple example would be to show how the manganate and permanganate ions both have the formula (MnO4) but have different charges. Therefor, any liquid forms of the formula MnO4 could vary since the two polyatomic ions react very differently, however they would have the same chemical formula technically. However... If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical composition (ie be made of the exact same molecules)?" then the answer, unfortunately, is maybe. Temperature and pressure can greatly affect the way molecules bond, and may affect the density. Therefor, if the one liquid was divided and put into two different temperatures and/or pressures then the densities could in theory change. However, this may change the state of the liquid, even possibly turning it into a gas or a plasma, and thus, it would no longer be a liquid. However, the substance would still be the "liquid" that you started with, the difference would be a change in the state of the matter. So to answer your question, yes, two unidentified liquids with different densities can be the same liquid.

No. The melting and boiling points of liquids vary considerably.


How many densities can a given mineral have?

That depends on which form of the mineral. Some minerals have several forms, and the densities vary as the form does.


Density of metal?

It depends on which metal it is because metals vary in their densities.

What is the cubic meter weight of brick?

There are many different types of bricks and their densities vary by up to 50%. It is therefore not possible to give a useful answer to the question without knowing the type of bricks.
