Archimedes' principle: an object in water experiences an upward lift equal to the weight of the volume of water being displaced.
volume of water displaced = 8000 cm3
weight of water displaced ~ 1 g/cm3 at room temperature and sea level
weight of cube in air = 16000 kgf
lift ~ 8000 gf = 8 kgf
weight of cube in water = 16000 kgf - 8 kgf = 15992 kgf

Is it true that If an object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that's underwater?
the weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the object
How much does a 10 pound brick weigh underwater?
That depends on the volume of the brick. Whatever its volume is, its weight underwater is(weight of the brick in air) minus (weight of an equal volume of water)
How much weight is 120 cubic centemetres?
cubic centimetres is volume not weight. if it is water then it would weight 120 grams
Specific weight of water?
Specific weight is the weight of the material per unit volume. Water has the specific weight of 62.43 pounds per cubic foot or 9.807 Newtons per cubic meter.
Does one gram weight equals 1 ml volume?
Only if it is water, which has a mass of 1gram per ml volume
Can water carry a heavier weight than the weight of volume of water under it?
no
How much would someone weigh under water?
It depends on the density of the object that weighs one pound, and how much of it is under water. The object will weight 1lb - water density * object volume under water; If the object is on average is less dense the water (i.e. is buoyant), and is allowed to swim, its weight will be 0 because proportion of its volume under water will compensate gravity exactly.
If a rock is put into a container of water will the weight stay the same?
The weight of the rock will be lessened by the weight of the same volume of water. If the rock weighs less than that volume of water, it will float (as does pumice). Thus, if you had a rock that has a density (weight/volume) of 2 times the same volume of water, it would weigh one half of its dry weight when in water.
How do you find volume of a bottle when its mass is given it's weight with the water is given and the waters density is given?
The weight of the bottle with the water minus the mass of bottle gives the weight of the water present.Mass/Volume=Density,therefore weight of the water/density gives the volume of water present in the bottle which is nothing but the volume of the bottle itself.
How can you calculate the volume of a stone when its in water?
you subtract the weight of the water from the weight of the measuring cylinder and you get the volume of the stone
What will make a boat hold weight?
How much weight a boat will hold depends on the volume of the boat. This is called displacement. displacement is exactly equal to the weight of the water the boat displaces, that is the boat makes a hole in the water. The volume of that hole times the weight of water (64 lbs for salt water, 62.4 for fresh water) - displacement. The volume of water displaces is equal to the volume of the boat.
How do you calculate density of dairy cream?
You find the volume and the weight of the cream. The weight should be easy using a scale. The volume can be found by taking a container of water. If it is marked (indicating cups or deciliters) fill it so the cream can go under water. Note the height of water, put in cream, note new height of water. The difference is the volume of the cream. If container not marked, fill it the the rim, put in cream, collect water that is spilled, measure volume of spilled water (=volume of cream). . The density is weight per volume. (E.g. 20 grams/1.2 deciliters)
Would dropping an anchor into the water from a boat displace more water than before?
An old chestnut this one. Whilst in the boat, the anchor displaces its weight in water, when under the water and lying on the bottom, it only displaces its volume. As it is made from iron which is much denser than water, its volume is much less than the volume of water which equals its weight. So it will displace less water than before it is dropped.
Does a milliliter measure water or weight?
volume
What ingredients are the same in weight and volume?
WATER
Is the weight and volume of water butter eggs and milk the same?
The weight of eggs, water and milk are measured in ounces or cups. The volume of water, eggs, and milk is measured as a liquid. The volume of butter is measured as a solid.
What is water buoyancY?
The difference between an object's weight, and the weight of water with the same volume as the object.
