∙ 16y agoThe weight of water displaced by the floating block of wood is exactly equal to the weight of the ENTIRE block of wood, regardless of how much of the wood is above the water level.

That would depend on the eleven year olds height. My son is almost 5'1" and weights 140 lbs. He is considered as overweight and I agree. He does not need to lose weight. He just needs to maintain his present weight and allow his body to grow and the weight will catch up with his height. The following URL will show you if your child's BMI or Body Mass Index. Enter the child's height and weight and it will you if your child is normal weight, above normal or below normal weight for their age. http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
Every diamond is valued by its cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. You can purchase a single stone of approximately this carat weight today on Blue Nile and pay between US$675 and US$4,353, depending on the variables, as above.
Answer: Grain, Scruple, Carat, Gram, Pennyweight, Avoirdupois Dram, Apothecaries Dram, Ounces, Troy Ounce, Poundal, Troy Pound, Pound, Kilogram, Stone, US Quarter, Slug, 100 Weight (US cwt), Short Ton, Metric Ton and Long Ton Answer: The above are units of weight or force; some of them (like gram and kilogram) are really units of mass, not of weight. The DIMENSIONS of weight are the same as the dimensions of a force, since a weight is a force. In the SI, this is defined by Newton's Second Law (F=ma), in other words a mass times an acceleration.
On earth, 5 kg of mass weighs 49 newtons (11 pounds) at sea level. Less as rises above or sinks below the surface.

The volume of liquid displaced by a floating cork is equal to the volume of the cork itself. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Floating Above Us - 2009 was released on: USA: 20 October 2009
According to Archimedes' Principle (which he described in his treatise On Floating Bodies) a body immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. In the case of a floating boat, if the average density of the boat and the air within its hull is less than the density of the water, the mass of the water displaced as it settles into the water will be equal to the to the total mass of the boat but it will displace a volume less than the volume of the boat, thus enough of the boat will remain above the water to allow it to float.

The only situation where it will not add weight is if both of these is true:The bucket is completely filled to the brim with water before you add the ball.When you add the fully inflated ball, it floats freely in the water after the overflow of water stops.In the above case, the weight of the displaced water (the water that overflows) is equal to the weight of the freely floating ball. There is no net gain in weight. If the bucket is not initially full to the brim, or if the ball rests on the brim of the bucket without floating freely, then the ball will add weight.
I think a hotel that is floating thousands of meters above ground is bull and run by some wacko
Any object that is floating will displace a mass of fluid equal to the mass of the floating object. Since the density of an iceberg is about 90% of the density of seawater most of the iceberg will be under water to create enough buoyancy to support the bit above the water. About 10% will be above the water. Pure ice has a density of about 916.7 kg/m³. Surface seawater has a typical density of about 1027 kg/m³. We can use these figures to work out that 1m³ of ice has a mass of 916.7kg. The amount of seawater that needs to be displaced to support this ice is 916 ÷ 1027 = 0.892m³. Since any object that is floating will displace a mass of fluid equal to the mass of the floating object we know that our 1m³ iceberg will have 0.892m³ under the water and 0.108m³ above the water. i.e. 89.2% underwater and 10.8% above the water. The percentages will be the same for any size iceberg. Since the density of Sea Water can vary and icebergs are not completely pure water there will be a bit of variation from these figures, a figure of 10% is normally used.
To find the density of an object that floats, you need to know the mass of the object and the volume of the water it displaces. Divide the mass by the volume of water displaced to calculate the density of the object.
No county, country or any other entity is "above Switzerland". If it was above Switzerland, it would be floating in mid-air.
Yes. This is why they wear extra weight on their boots to keep them from floating above the surface of the moon. The moon has less gravitational pull due to its smaller size compared to the Earth.
