Answer:
Volume of water displaced = 450 - 375 = 75 ml
Vr = volume of rock = 75 ml
Wr = 9.22 - 7.60 = 1.62 N weight of 75 ml of rock
Density of rock = 1.62 N / 75 ml = .0216 N / ml
Density of water = 1000 g / 1000 ml = 9.8 N / 1000 ml = .0098 N / ml
Density of rock / density of water = .0216 / .0098 = 2.20
Choice ' C ' is a true statement.
The other choices aren't.
- According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; action and reaction act on different bodies.
- Here, the action force is in the leftward direction, so the reaction will be in the opposite direction.
- If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, then the reaction force is in the rightward direction.
- And the reaction force will be given by the water on the swimmer.
<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>
<u>The </u><u>reaction </u><u>force </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>water </u><u>pushing </u><u>the </u><u>swimmer </u><u>in </u><u>the </u><u>rightward </u><u>direction</u><u>.</u>
Hope you could get an idea from here.
