The density of liquid water is 1000 kg/m^3 and the density of ice is 917 kg/m^3.

That means, if you have 1 m^3 ice slab, you may be able to support a maximum of 83 kg. Hence, it is a simple ratio to find the minimum volume of ice slab to support a 45kg person (man and woman alike): (1 m^3)*(45/83) = 0.55 m^3

I think you have to find the buoyancy force that the water applies on the ore sample which happens to be 17.50N - 11.20N = 6.30N Remember that the buoyancy force is the weight of the water that has been displaced by the submerged object. Therefore, since the buoyancy force was 6.30N, we can find how much water that is equivalent to. 6.30N = 0.643 kg. Since 1L of water weighs 1kg, we can say that we have 0.643 L of water. 0.643L = 643 cubic centimeters so you have 643 cubic centimeters of volume. We know that the weight of the ore in air is 17.50N/9.8 = 1.79kg = 1790 g And the density is the mass divided by the volume, which you already know: density = 1790g/643 cm^3 = 2.78 g/cm^3

03-27-10, 07:21 PM 1 is a simple Delta change problem. Figure the percentage of gravitic attraction on Caasi of that of Earth as a decimal, and the object will ride that much higher + the amount higher based on the difference of density between Glycerine and H2O. Water density is Water 62.4lbs/foot^3 and Glycerine is 78.6 lbs/foot^3 F_net = m_b g-B | B = rho V_f g R = V_f/V_b | | R | fraction of body submerged V_b | volume of body rho | fluid density F_net | effective gravity m_b | mass of body B | buoyancy force in fluid

V_f | volume of replaced fluid g | acceleration due to gravity (~~ 9.807 m/s^2) (One Earth Gravity) 3.2/9.807ms^2=0.32629754257163250739267869888855, or . 32.629754257163250739267869888855% of the surface gravity of Earth. There are all your variables. Work it through. It will be 2 problems, the delta change based on the gravity difference, and then Archimedes principal, focusing on displacement and submerged volume.
