Body weight in air 26 kN in water 16 kN. What is the volume of the body?

To calculate the value of the volume of the presented body, we apply the formula: V = Fa / (ρwater * g) = (Pair – Pwater) / (ρwater * g).

Constants and variables: Pair – weight in air (Pair = 26 kN = 26 * 10 ^ 3 N); Pwat – the weight of the represented body in water (Pwat = 16 kN = 16 * 10 ^ 3 N); ρwater – water density (ρwater = 1000 kg / m3); g – acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 10 m / s2).

Let’s calculate: V = (Pair – Pwater) / (ρwater * g) = (26 * 10 ^ 3 – 16 * 10 ^ 3) / (1000 * 10) = 1 m3.

Answer: The volume of the presented body is 1 m3.
