Thanks

haha i meant as the beaker starts to sink, we know that the mass of the water inside the beaker is making it sink to the bottom. It is 0.5 because it's half the volume of the beaker =)

is the mass of water displaced 0.5*density of water*volume of beacker.. as the beaker starts to sink, it tells me that the mass will is increasing?

ummm 5x10^-4 m^3

max water the beaker can displace is mg= density*gravity*volume 0.390 = 1000 x volume volume=3.9*10^-4 Mass (including water) when it starts to sink... 0.5*density*volume 0.5*1000*5*10^-4=0.25 kg

You place a beaker partly filled with water, into a sink. The beaker itself has a mass of 390grams and an interior volume of 500 cm^2. You now start to fill the sink with water and you f ind that if the beaker is less than half full, it floats but it is more than half full it sinks to the...
