Question

A block has a volume of 0.09 m3 and a density of 4,000 kg/m3. What's the force of gravity acting on the block in water?

A. 3,528 N
B. 3,038 N
C. 882 N
D. 2,646 N

Answer 1

If one m³ of that material holds 4,000 kg of it,
then 0.09 m³ holds

(0.09) x (4,000) = 360 kg of it

The force of gravity acting on 360 kg of anything
on the Earth's surface is

(mass) x (gravity)

= (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 3,528
