"kg" is not a unit of weight. Fortunately, it cancels out of the calculations required to answer
this question, so we don't need to make a big deal about it just now.
We'll make the simplifying assumption that there is no buoyant force due to the displacement of
air, and that the object's weight in air is its true, full weight.
The question clearly states that 1/6th of the object's weight vanishes in water. That tells us that
the weight of a parcel of water with volume equal to the volume of the object has 1/6th the weight
of the object. By definition then, the density of water is 1/6th the density of the object.
Since water is taken as the standard of density = 1, the object's density is 6 (grams per cc).
What else can I help you with?
How many kilos in a liter of water?
One liter of water weighs approximately one kilogram, as water has a density of 1 kg/L.
One liter of water weighs approximately?
One liter of water has a mass of about one kilogram; therefore, its weight (on Earth) will be about 9.8 Newton.
Is1000 mls equals 2.2 kilogram?
No, 1000 ml of water is equal to 1 kilogram, not 2.2. The density of water is 1 g/ml, so 1000 ml of water weighs 1000 grams or 1 kilogram.
How dense must an object be to float?
By definition, 1 gram of water will occupy one cubic centimeter. If the object to be floated on water weighs less per cubic centimeter it will float, and if it weighs more it will sink. *For an object to float in a liquid, it must have a lower density than the liquid. For example water has a density of one kilogram per litre and ice has a density of 0.9 kg/L, so ice floats; lead has a density of about 8-9 kg/L, so it will float in mercury (density of somwhere between 15 and 20 kg/L; please correct if you have the data).
If 1 gram of water has a volume of 1 milliliter what is mass of 1 liter of water in kilograms?
The answer would be 1 kg. If one milliliter of water weighs one gram, one liter of water weighs 1000 grams, which equals one kilogram.
What object weighs the same as a kilogram?
A litre of water weighs about 1 kilogram at room temperature.
Will kilogram float in water why?
The mass of an object alone is not enough to determine whether it will float in water. You need to know the object's mass and its volume; in other words, its density. A kilogram of solid lead will sink in water. A kilogram of styrofoam will float. If an object is less dense than water it will float; if it is denser it will sink.
Would an object of g in volume and cm cubed be able to float in water?
An object will float in water if it has less density than the water. You can calculate the density of the object by dividing its mass by its volume. For comparison, the density of water is: * 1 gram / cubic centimeter * 1 kilogram / liter * 1000 kilograms / cubic meter
What is the size of an object determines whether it will float water?
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
What weighs 1 kilogram or more then 1 kilogram?
An object that weighs 1 kilogram or more can include items like a bag of sugar, a full water bottle, a small melon, a laptop, a small cat, or a brick.
How is a liter of water related to a kilogram?
I litre of water weighs I kilogram
What determines wether an object will float in water?
An object will float in water if the object's density is less than the density of water. Relative density is the ratio of one object density with respect to the density of another object. Relative density of any object with respect to water is also known as specific gravity. Objects with a specific gravity less than one will float those with a specific gravity greater than one will not.
How many kilos in a liter of water?
One liter of water weighs approximately one kilogram, as water has a density of 1 kg/L.
What object weighs less than a kilogram?
An egg weighs less than 1 kilogram - or an apple.
One liter of water weighs approximately?
One liter of water has a mass of about one kilogram; therefore, its weight (on Earth) will be about 9.8 Newton.
Does an object less than 1.0 density sink?
No, it weighs less than water so it floats.
Is1000 mls equals 2.2 kilogram?
No, 1000 ml of water is equal to 1 kilogram, not 2.2. The density of water is 1 g/ml, so 1000 ml of water weighs 1000 grams or 1 kilogram.
