Example 6:
A metal block that has volume of 0.2 m³ is hanging in a water tank as shown in the figure to the left. What is the tension of the string? [ Density of the metal = 8 × 10³ kg/m³, density of water = 1 × 10³ kg/m³]
Answer:
Let,
Tension = T
Weight = W
Upthrust = F
Diagram below shows the 3 forces acted on the block.
The 3 forces are in equilibrium, hence
