Hey
This has stumped me and 2 other people who have also tried to solve this problem. My instructor was about to explain it but just left us with we can get it through the equation of Buoyant force Bf=pgv. Here is the actual question from my book.
I have no idea how your supposed to figure this out, my and my friend have been trying to figure this out for over an hour now and we don't know where to start with it, since all your apparently given is the Buoyant force which comes out to be 4N and that leaves you with two unknowns, p and v.
If anyone can help me that would be great because I've got a test coming up on Monday and something this confusing is sure to be on it.
Thanks in Advance
Bryan

An object has a weight of 8.0N in air. However, it apparently weighs only 4.0N when it is completely submerged in water. What is the density of the object?
