Answer to Question #202618 in Mechanics | Relativity for karen

Question

Consider five identical beakers. The water level in each beaker is up to the point of overflowing. A toy boat is floating on the surface of beaker A. A second toy boat, one that tipped over and sank to the bottom, is in beaker B. An Ice cube is floating on the surface of beaker C. the block of wood submerged in beaker D is tethered to the bottom by a thread and dab of super glue. (there is nothing in Beaker except water.) The two boats, the ice cube , and the block of wood have equal masses. The density of the submerged boat rests on a scale. Rank the reading on the scales from most to least.

Answer 1

Densities from most to least:

B (since second toy boat goes to the bottom) - C (ice cube) - D (block of wood) - A (toy boat)
