(a) How does a boat float in water ?
(b) A piece of steel has a volume of $12\ cm^3$, and a mass of $96\ g$. What is its density :
(i) in $g/cm^3$ ?
(ii) in $kg/m^3$ ?
(a). A boat displaces water that is equal to its weight and this displaced water exerts a buoyant force to keep the weight of the boat balanced and make it float.
(b) (i). Mass of the piece of steel $m=96\ g$
The volume of the piece of the steel $V=12\ cm^3$
Therefore, the density of the piece of metal $=\frac{m}{V}$
$=\frac{96\ g}{12\ cm^3}$
$=8\ g/cm^3$
(ii). In $kg/cm^3$, the density in $=8\times\frac{10^6}{10^3}\ kg/m^3$
$=8\times10^3\ kg/m^3$
