1 N

100 tons

1000 kg

In lab you find that a 1-kg rock suspended above water weighs 10 N . When the rock is suspended beneath the surface of the water, the scale reads 8.0 N. If the container of water weighs 10 N on the weighing scale, what is the scale reading when the rock is suspended beneath the surface of the water?

12 N -If the container of water on a bathroom-type scale weighs 9.8 N, what is the scale reading when the rock is suspended beneath the surface of the water? Newton's third law says that if the water pushes the rock up then the rock pushes down on the water with an equal and opposite force. Therefore the rock pushes down on the water with a force of 2N. When this is added to the initial scale reading we get 11.8 N

A scale from which a rock is suspended reads 5 N when the rock is out of water and 3 N when the rock is submerged. Buoyant force on the rock is

2 N

In lab you find that a 1-kg rock suspended above water weighs 10 N . When the rock is suspended beneath the surface of the water, the scale reads 8.0 N. What is the buoyant force on the rock?

2 N -Two forces are acting upwards on the rock, the hook scale and the upthrust. The sum of these two forces must balance the weight of the rock, 9.8 N. Therefore the upthrust = 9.8N - 7.8N = 2N

In lab you find that a 1-kg rock suspended above water weighs 10 N . When the rock is suspended beneath the surface of the water, the scale reads 8.0 N. What is the scale reading when the rock is released and rests at the bottom of the container?

20 N -What is the scale reading when the rock is released and rests at the bottom of the container? When the rock is released the spring balance will have to support the weight of the rock as well as the weight of the water and container, bringing the reading to 9.8N + 9.8N = 19.6N
