Activities

1.) An iron anchor weighs 250 pounds in air and has a weight density of 480 lbs/ft³. If it is immersed in sea water that has a weight density of 64 lbs/ft³, how much force would be required to lift it while it is immersed?

2.) An aluminum bar weighs 17 pounds in air. How much force is required to lift the bar while it is immersed in gasoline? The weight density of aluminum is 170 pounds /ft³ and that of gasoline is 42 pounds /ft³.

3.) How much does a 20 ft x 10 ft x 8 ft swimming pool filled with water weigh? Assume the water has a weight density of 62 lbs/ft³.

4.) A balloon weighing 80 kg has a capacity of 1200 m³. If it is filled with helium, how great a payload can it support? The density of helium is 0.18 kg/ m³ and the density of air is 1.30 kg/ m³. Express your answer in Newton.

5.) Find the weight of the air in a room with dimensions of 20 ft x 12 ft x 15 ft. The weight density of air at sea level is 0.08 pounds /ft³.
