Answer» Solution :Given side of cube =5cm `:.` volume of the cube `=5xx5xx5=125cm^(3)` `125cm^(3)xx7.9gcm^(-3)` `=987.5g` `:.` WEIGHT of the cube =987.5gf(downwards) b. upthrust on cube = weight of liquid DISPLACED `=` volume of cube `xx` density of liquid `xxg` `=125xx1.1xxg=37.5g` (upwards) c. TENSION in thread =Net downward FORCE `=` Weight of cube - Upthrust on cube `=987.5-137.56=850.0gf` |
