A Piece of Brass Weighs 175 Gf in Air and 150 Gf When Fully Submerged in Water. the Density of Water is 1.0 G Cm-3. (I) What is the Volume of the Brass Piece? (Ii) Why Does the Brass Piec - Physics

A piece of brass weighs 175 gf in air and 150 gf when fully submerged in water. The density of water is 1.0 g cm^-3.

(i) What is the volume of the brass piece? (ii) Why does the brass piece weigh less in water?

Sum

Weight of piece of brass in air = 175 gf

Weight of piece of brass when fully immersed in water = 150 gf

Density of water = 1 g cm^-3

(i) Volume of brass piece = Loss in weight = 175 - 150 = 25 cm³

(ii) The brass piece weighs less in water due to upthrust .
