Question:
A steel block with a density of 7800 kg/m3 is suspended from a string in a beaker of water so that the block is completely submerged but not resting on the bottom. The block is a cube with sides of 3 cm (0.03 m).
a. What is the volume of the block in cubic meters?
b. What is the mass of the block?
c. What is the weight of the block?
d. What is the buoyant force acting on the block?
e. What tension in the string is needed to hold the block in place?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
