Solid weighs 0.040 N in air and 0.024 N when fully immersed in a liquid of density 800 kg m-3. What is the volume of the solid? (g = 1Oms2)

A.

2.0 x 10-6m3

B.

2.5x10-6m3

C.

3.0x10-6m3

D.

2.0x 10-5m3

E.

3.0 x 10-5m3

Correct answer is A

Upthrust = weight fluid displacement 0.040 - 0.024 = PVg
0.016 = 800 x V x 10
V = 2.0 x 106
