AGLASS BLOCK WEIGHS 2.5N IN AIR WHEN USUALLY IMMERSED IN WATER THE WEIGHS 15N.CALCULATE APPARENTLOSS IN WATER.
Please check your problem for errors.
To calculate the apparent loss in water, you need to determine the buoyant force acting on the glass block in water. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the block. The apparent loss in water is the difference between the weight of the block in air and the weight of the block in water.
Here's how you can calculate the apparent loss in water:
1. Calculate the weight of the block in air:
- The weight of the block in air is given as 2.5 N.
2. Calculate the weight of the block in water:
- The weight of the block in water is given as 15 N.
3. Find the apparent loss in water:
- Apparent loss in water = Weight in air - Weight in water
- Apparent loss in water = 2.5 N - 15 N
- Apparent loss in water = -12.5 N
Note: The negative sign indicates that the block experiences an apparent loss in water, meaning it appears to weigh less in water compared to in air.
Therefore, the apparent loss in water for the glass block is 12.5 N.
