A valuable statuette from a Greek shipwreck lies at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The statuette has a mass of 10,566 g and a volume of 4,064 cm3. The density of seawater is 1.03 g/mL. a. What is the weight of the statuette?
b. What is the mass of displaced water?
c. What is the weight of displaced water?
d. What is the buoyant force on the statuette?
e. What is the net force on the statuette?
f. How much force would be required to lift the statuette?

A) W = 103.55 N

B) mass of displaced water = 4186 g

C) W_displaced water = 41.06 N

D) Buoyant force = 41.06 N.

E) ZERO

F) 62.54 N

Explanation:

We are given;

mass of statuette;m = 10,566 g = 10.566 kg

volume = 4,064 cm³

Density of seawater;ρ = 1.03 g/mL = 1.03 g/cm³

A) The dry weight of the statuette can be calculated as;

W = mg

So;

W = 10.556 × 9.81

W = 103.55 N

B) Mass of displaced water is calculated from;

Density = mass/volume

So, mass = Density × Volume

m = 1.03 × 4,064 = 4186 g

C) Weight of displaced water is given by;

W_displaced water = (m_displaced water) × g

W_displaced water = 4.186 kg × 9.81 m/s^2 = 41.06 N

D) The buoyant force is the same as the weight of the displaced water.

Thus, Buoyant force = 41.06 N.

E) The apparent weight of the statuette is calculated from;

Apparent weight = Dry weight - Weight of displaced water

Apparent weight = 103.6 N - 41.06 N = 62.54 N. It is sitting on the bottom of the sea, so the sea floor is providing an opposite force that is equal but opposite the weight so that the net force on the statuette is zero. Since It has zero acceleration, in any direction, hence the net force on it is zero.

F. From E above, The Force required to lift the statuette = 62.54 N

specific latent heat of fusion, lf, of a substance is defined as the amount of heat required to change a unit mass of the substance from solid to liquid state, without any change in the temperature.

explanation:

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
