)a rock is suspended from a scale reads 20.0 n. a beaker of water (having a density of 1000 kg/m3) is raised up so the rock is totally submerged in the water. the scale now reads . what is the density of the rock? a) 2.50 × 103 kg/m3 b) 1.60 × 103 kg/m3 c) 2.33 × 103 kg/m3 d) 2.67 × 103 kg/m3 e) 3.00 × 103 kg/m3

The density of the rock is

(D) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 20.0 N

Density = 1000 kg/m³

Suppose the scale new reads 12.5 N

We need to calculate the mass of rock

Using formula of force

Put the value into the formula

Scale reads 12.5 N after rock is totally submerged so mass of rock after submerged

We need to calculate the mass of rock

Using formula of force

Put the value into the formula

The scale reads 12.5 N = 1.25 kg so it is displacing 0.75 kg of water

We need to calculate the volume of rock using volume of water it displaces:

Using formula of volume

We need to calculate the density of the rock

Using formula of density

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The density of the rock is

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.
