Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A solid object of mass 200 g is submerged in water. Calculate the buoyant force if the object displaces 150 cm³ of water.
💡 Hint: Use the weight of the displaced water for calculations.
An object has a density of 800 kg/m³ and is submerged in water (density of 1000 kg/m³). Will it float or sink, and why?
💡 Hint: Relate the densities to buoyant force.
