A 11.0 kg block of metal is suspended from a scale andimmersed in water as in Figure P9.30. The dimensions of the blockare 12.0 cm ✕ 8.0 cm ✕ 8.0 cm. The12.0 cm dimension is vertical, and the top of the block is 5.00 cmbelow the surface of the water.
Figure P9.30
(a) What are the forces exerted by the water on the top andbottom of the block?(Take P0 = 1.0130 105 N/m2.)
(b) What is the reading of the spring scale? N(c) Show that the buoyant force equals the difference between theforces at the top and bottom of the block.
