A house brick has a volume of 1900 cm³ and a weight in air of 80N. What is its apparent weight in water?The density of water is 1.00 g cm³?​

61 N

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the mass of the brick when placed in water. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of brick = 1900 cm³

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Mass of brick in water =…?

Density = mass / volume

1 = mass of brick in water / 1900

Cross multiply

Mass of brick in water = 1 × 1900

Mass of brick in water = 1900 g

Next, we shall convert 1900 g to Kg.

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

1900 g = 1900 g × 1 Kg / 1000 g

1900 g = 1.9 Kg

Next, we shall determine the weight in water. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 1.9 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Weight (W) =?

W = m × g

W = 1.9 × 10

W = 19 N

Thus, the weight of the brick in water is 19 N.

Finally, we shall determine the apparent weight of the brick in water. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight in air = 80 N

Weight in water = 19 N

Apparent weight =?

Apparent weight = weight in air – weight in water

Apparent weight = 80 – 19

Apparent weight = 61 N
