$\frac{V_p}{V_s}$ = $\frac{N_p}{N_s}$ = $V_s$
= $\frac{V_pN_s}{N_p}$ = $\frac{240 \times 50}{500}$ = 24 V
bt $V_{qp}$ = $\frac{1}{3}PR$ = V$_{qp}$ = $\frac{1}{3} \times 24 = 8V$

Figure 10 shows a rectangular metal block of density 10500 kgm-3
(Solved)
Figure 10 shows a rectangular metal block of density 10500 kgm-3 and dimensions 30 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm suspended inside a liquid of density 1200 kgm-3 by a string attached to a point above the liquid. The three forces acting on the block are the tension T, On the string, the weight W, of the block and the upthrust, U due to the liquid.
(i) Write the expression relating T, W and U when the block is in equilibrium inside the liquid.
(ii) Determine the weight, W of the block.
(iii) Determine the weight of the liquid displaced by the fully submerged block.
(iv) Hence determine the tension, T in the string.
