When designing for the shipping and submersible industry the design engineer needs to consider the mass and position (location within the vessel) of components and systems being designed. A metal component, in air, has a mass of 16.732 kg. When the metal component was completely submerged in water, its apparent mass was 14.909 kg. From these values determine the following: The mass of water it displaces when it is submerged, The volume of water it displaces, Q a) b) e) The volume of the metal component, The density of the metal component, What types of material have this density?
