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.

How do you calculate the density of both an irregular and regular shaped floating object?

To calculate the density of an irregular shaped floating object, you can measure its mass using a balance and then find its volume by submerging it in a known volume of water and measuring the water displaced. For a regular shaped floating object, you can simply divide its mass by its volume to find the density.


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).


How do you predict the density of a floating object?

To predict the density of a floating object, you can compare the density of the object to the density of the fluid it is floating in. For an object to float, its density must be less than the density of the fluid. You can calculate the density of the object by dividing its mass by its volume.


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.


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.


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.


True or false if a object floats the volume of the displaced water is equal to the volume of the whole object?

True. According to Archimedes' principle, the volume of water displaced by an object floating in a fluid (like water) is equal to the volume of the part of the object that is submerged in the fluid.


If an object floats the volume of the displaced water?

The volume of the water displaced by an object floating in a liquid is equal to the volume of the portion of the object that is submerged in the liquid. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.


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 ~


If an object floats the volume of the displacement water is equal to the volume of the whole object?

False - Apex
