Are you talking about the displacment needed to lift 3000 pounds in water? The total displacment would need to equal the weight of the object AND the contianment vessel AND the entrapped air. Water weighs about 8 (fuel is 6) pounds per gallon. So you'd have to divide the total weight of all objects by 8 pounds to find the displacment. Recognize that you can also count the displacment of the object being lifted as part of the total displacment, so if the 3000 pound object displaces 100 gallons of water, that reduces the total additional displacent by 100 gallons.

What equipment is needed to find out the densty of a pebble?

To find out the density of a pebble, you will need a balance or scale to measure its mass, and a graduated cylinder filled with water to measure its volume using water displacement method. The density of the pebble can then be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume.

How are friction between distance and displacement?

Distance is the total length of the path traveled, while displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end points. Friction does not directly affect distance or displacement, as it is a force that opposes motion. However, friction may impact the energy needed to overcome obstacles along the distance traveled or when calculating displacement.
