A sea lion (with lungs empty) is put on a scale when it is completely submerged in water. The scale reads the “apparent weight force” of the sea lion in water as 62.01-N. The sea lion has a mass of 210.0-kg. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3.

Determine the density of the sea lion.

Select one:

a. 1000 kg/m3

b. 419 kg/m3

c. 1029 kg/m3

d. 1419 kg/m3

A block of wood floats partially submerged in water. Oil is poured on top of the water until the block of wood is totally submerged, partially in water and partially in oil as shown in the figure. A clear cup is partially filled with water, and has oil floating on top of the water, almost filling the vessel. Completely submerged in the fluids is a block. The block floats so that part of it is in the water and part...

A lost shipping container is found resting on the ocean floor and completely submerged. The container is 6.3 m long, 2.8 m wide, and 2.1 m high. Salvage experts attach a spherical balloon to the top of the container and inflate it with air pumped down from the surface. When the balloon's radius is 1.2 m, the shipping container just begins to rise towards the surface. What is the mass of the container? Ignore the mass of the balloon and...
