An object with a mass of 5kh displaces 350ml of water. What is the weight of the object
To find the weight of the object, we need to use the equation:
Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity.
The mass is given as 5 kilograms (5 kg), but we need to convert it to grams (g) to match the units of the volume we have for water. Using the conversion: 1 kg = 1000 g, we can find the mass of the object in grams:
Mass = 5 kg * 1000 g/kg = 5000 g
The volume of water displaced is given as 350 milliliters (350 ml), which we can also convert to grams since 1 ml of water has a mass of 1 gram. Therefore, the mass of water displaced is:
Mass of water = 350 g
Now, we can find the weight of the object using the formula:
Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity.
Acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s².
Weight = 5000 g * 9.8 m/s² = 49000 g·m/s²
Note that g·m/s² is equivalent to the unit of force called Newton (N). So, the weight of the object is 49000 N.
