If the ship only sinks 2.5 centimeters, then the heigth of the portion underwater would increase by only 2.5 cm, or the portion above would decrease by that ammount.

How do you convert displacement in mL to newtons?

To convert displacement in mL to newtons, you would need to know the density of the substance in question. The formula to convert displacement in mL to newtons is: Force (N) = Displacement (mL) x Density (g/mL) x 9.81 (acceleration due to gravity in m/s^2). You need to multiply the displacement in mL by the density of the substance and the acceleration due to gravity to get the force in newtons.


Is the density of an object bigger in one piece or two?

The answer to that question is: No. The density of an object only depends on the substance its made of. If two samples are made of the same substance, then it doesn't matter if one is the size of a grain of sand and the other is the size of a battleship ... they have the same density.


An object has a weight of 14n in the air it apparently weighs only 3n when it is completely submerged in water what is the density of the object?

Since the DENSITY of WATER = 1, and the Weight is 14 Newtons (in air) and 3 Newtons (Submerged in Water) we can figure the Density of the Object by the following: N = kg·m/s2 14 N = (Mass of Object) x 9.81 m/s2 (Mass of Object) = 14 N / 9.81 m/s2 (Mass of Object) = 1.427 kg And Since IN WATER the Object is 3 Newtons: 3 N = (1.427 kg x 9.81m/s2 ) / (Density of Object) 3 N = (14 N) / (Density of Object) Density of Object = (14 N) / (3 N) Density of Object = 4.6667


Why do battleships float if they are more dense than water?

Battleships displace enough water to create a buoyant force that counteracts their weight, allowing them to float. The shape and volume of the battleship's hull helps distribute the weight evenly, enabling it to stay afloat despite being denser than water.


How much does technetium weigh?

The density of technetium is approx. 11 g/cm3.


What is the density of a cylinder that is 20Cm high with a diameter of 12Cm if the cylinder weighs approximately 6.1kg?

Weight is measured in Newtons, not kg. A kilogram measure mass.The density is approx 2.7 grams/cubic cm.


What is the weight of a cubic meter?

mass = density * volume weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity W = (2400 kg/m^3)*(1 m^3)*(9.8 m/s^2) = 23520 Newtons convert to pounds 23520 Newtons = 5287.5 lbs (note 1 lb is approximately 4.448 Newtons)


What are the metric units for length mass weight volume and density?

The metric units for: Length: meters Mass: grams Weight: newtons Volume: liters Density: grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)


How many ml of water with a density of 1g slash ml are required to weigh point 75 newtons?

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)0.75 newton = (mass) x (9.8 newtons per kilogram)Mass = 0.75/9.8 = 0.07653 kilogram (rounded) = 76.53 gramsVolume = mass/density = (76.53 grams)/(1 gram slash ml) = 76.53 ml


What is the density of a glass stopper that weighed two comma four newtons in air two newtons in water with a density of one thousand?

The buoyant force acting on the glass stopper in water is 0.4 N (2.4 N - 2 N). The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the stopper, so the volume of water displaced is 0.4 kg (0.4 N / 1000 N/kg). Using the formula density = mass/volume, the density of the glass stopper is 2400 kg/m^3 (2.4 kg / 0.001 m^3).


What is force divided by volume?

That would be something like "newtons per liter" or "pounds per gallon." It sounds like a density, but it's not. It has no physical significance.


A steel block has a volume of 0.08 m and a density of 7840 kgm What is the force of gravity acting on the block the weight in water?

5362.56 NEWTONS
