STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE FOR A COMPLETELY SUBMERGED OBJECT: (a) Calculate the true weight of the 5-kg metal block. Wtrue = N (b) Now measure the apparent weight of the metal block by placing it on the immersed scale. Wapparent = 24.50N Find the difference: AW = Wtrue - W Apparent =_ N . (c) While the block is under water, take note of the volume of water. Volume of water with the block under water = 102.50L Initial volume of water in the tank without any blocks in it = (d) Calculate the volume of displaced water by subtracting the volume of water without the block from the volume with the block immersed. Difference in volume = Volume of displaced water = (e) Convert the difference in volume to m'. Volume of displaced water = m'. IL = 1000mL = 1000cm', 100cm = Im (f) Finally, calculate the weight of displaced water. Weight of displaced water = VDg = N. where is the density of water, 1000kg/m', and g is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s. (g) Finally, calculate the percent discrepancy using the following formula. (AW - VDg) AW+VDg x 100% Percent discrepancy = % [2 points]
