Exactly the same as for a non-floating object. Finding the volume of a shape does not vary, (i.e it's always something along the lines of height*width*depth, or area of base *height. "Table" or "surface" is irrelevant, since if it not a variable in the formula). This is true whether the object is floating or not.

What is true about the mass and volume of all floating objects?

The volume of liquid displaced has the same mass as the floating object.


An object displaces 652 ml of water. The volume of the object is?

652 cc (unless it was floating).


If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's underwater true or false?

It's true that the volume of displaced water of a floating object equalst the portion of that object that is underwater.


What is Floating object on Microsoft Word 2007?

A floating object is an object that is floating, which is a floating object. Which = floating object.


Does the weight of a gallon of water increase when an object is floating in it?

Yes. The floating object is an addition to the mass system, even though it cannot displace its entire volume in the water.


How do you find the mass of an object when you are given the volume and density of the object?

You can find the mass of the object by multiplying volume and density.


If an object floats the volume of displaced water is equal to the volume of what?

Look at the LAST WORD of the question, they switch it sometimes if it is: Underwater than it is TRUE, If it's Surface of the water than it is FALSE ~


How do you find the answer for the volume of an object?

To find the volume of an object you must multiply the height by the width by the length. Expression:(HxWxL=Volume)


How do you calculate find the density of an object that floats?

If you can determine the volume fractions of the object that are above and below the water, then you can find the density of the object by multiplying the density of the fluid it floats in by the fraction of the volume that is below the surface of the liquid. Another, more complex way is to weigh the object alone then attach it to one arm of a balance to weigh the object when it is floating. As it floats it will displace an amount of liquid equal in weight to the total object. The decrease in weight will be proportional to the fraction of the object that is submerged. As an example: If an object weighed 100 grams out in the air but only required 20 grams to counterbalance its weight when it is floating, and the fluid it was floating in was water, then the density of the object would be (1 g/cubic centimeter)·(100-20)/100 = 0.8 g/cubic centimeter.


What do you need to find an object's density?

You need the object's volume and the object's mass to find the object's density. Then, you divide the object's mass by it's volume. The formula for density is d = density m = mass v = volume


How do you use an overflow container to find an object volume?

To find the volume of an object, we use an overflow cylinder as it gives a measure of the volume of the object by displacing an equal amount of water into the beaker.


How do find the density of an object?

You have to find out its mass, and its volume. Then you divide its mass by its volume.
