Question
An object weighs 43 N. It displaces 9 N of water. While in water, what is the object's weight? Input a whole number answer excluding the unit.
Solution
The weight of an object in water is determined by subtracting the buoyant force (the weight of the water displaced by the object) from the object's weight in air.
In this case, the object's weight in air is 43 N and the weight of the water displaced by the object is 9 N.
So, the object's weight in water is 43 N - 9 N = 34 N.
Therefore, the object's weight while in water is 34.
