Respuesta :

Answer:

Volume of metal piece = 0.0069 m³ (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of metal in air = 300 N  

Weight of metal in water = 232.5 N

Find:

Volume of metal piece

Specific gravity of metal

Computation:

We know that;

Density of water = 1,000 kg/m³

Buoyant force applied on metal piece = Weight of metal in air - Weight of metal in water

Buoyant force applied on metal piece = 300 N - 232.5 N

Buoyant force applied on metal piece = 67.5 N

Buoyant force = Volume of metal x Density of water x Gravitational force

67.5 = Volume of metal x 1,000 x 9.8

Volume of metal piece = 0.0069 m³ (Approx.)
