Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A diver is testing if a new suit will allow him to float better. The suit has a mass of 5 kg and decreases his density from 1.05 g/cm³ to 0.95 g/cm³ when he wears it. Will the diver float more easily with the new suit? Why or why not?
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between an object's density and the fluid's density.
Calculate the volume of water displaced when a 10 kg object is immersed in a fluid of density 1.2 g/cm³.
💡 Hint: Use the formula that connects mass, density, and volume.
