Q15

A 500 kg cement mooring block lies in 29 meters of SALT water. The block displaces 300 liters. To move the block off the bottom, what is the minimum amount of water that must be displaced from a lifting device?

c.) 185 liters

500 KG down force.

Displaces 300 litres which weigh 309 KG (300 liters x 1.03kg = 309 KG)

500 KG - 309 KG = 191 KG

Now we need figure out how many litres of salt weigh 191 KG

191 KG / 1.03 = 185 laters of water
