One way of restating Archimedes’ Principle is that the mass of a block that is floating in a fluid is equal to the mass of the fluid displaced by the block. Imagine that we have a solid block in which all of the sides are 1 cm long—a cube with a volume of 1 cm³. We set it in a beaker of pure water and find that, when the block and water come to rest, 70% of the block is submerged underwater, so a = 0.7 cm and b = 1.0 cm.
(a) What is the volume of water displaced by the block?
(b) The density of the water is 1.0 g/cm³, so what is the mass of water displaced by the block? Multiply the volume of water by the density of the water. The mass of water displaced by the block is ___ g.
(c) Using the previous answer, apply Archimedes' Principle to find the mass of the block.

With the simplified model of the eye, what corrective lens (specified by focal length as measured in air) would be needed to enable a person underwater to focus an infinitely distant object? (be careful-the focal length of a lens underwater is not the same as in air! assume that the corrective lens has a refractive index of 1.62 and that the lens is used in eyeglasses, not goggles, so there is water on both sides of the lens. assume that the eyeglasses are 1.90

An astronaut in space cannot use a scale or balance to weigh objects because there is no gravity. but she does have devices to measure distance and time accurately. she knows her own mass is 77.4 kg , but she is unsure of the mass of a large gas canister in the airless rocket. when this canister is approaching her at 3.50 m/s , she pushes against it, which slows it down to 1.30 m/s (but does not reverse it) and gives her a speed of 2.60 m/s . what is the mass of the canister?
