Homework Equations
Fb=Fg pf object of subject = P0V0g
PfVfg=Weight of displaced fluid=p0v0g=weight of object
Vu=v0-vf=v0-(p0v0g/pfg)=v0(1-(po/pf)
The Attempt at a Solution
I tired to find the volume of water, the vf and tried every thing, i don't seem to get anywhere.. Can some one direct me to the right path?
