Question: ( 8 points ) Consider the figure below. A piece of gold is first weighed when fully submerged in some liquid, and then weighed again

(8 points) Consider the figure below. A piece of gold is first weighed when fully submerged in some liquid, and then weighed again when outside of it.
a) Calculate the buoyant force, FB.
FB=17.1N-16.3N
=0.80N
b) Using Archimedes' principle, determine the density of the displaced fluid, df, that the piece of gold is submerged in. Circle the correct fluid from the densities below. Use gold=19300kgm3 for the density of submerged piece of gold. (Hint: The object is fully submerged so the the volume of the fluid displaced is the same as the volume of the submerged piece of gold. Also, use the fact that mgold=goldVgold). Show your work.
