Expert Answer
The mass of iron piece is m = 790 g = 0.79 kg.
Acceleration due to gravity is ? 10 m/s2.
Thus, weight of iron in air is
Now, when immersed in water, it displaces 100 g of water and sinks.
Thus weight of water displaced by iron is
Now, the buoyant force on iron will be equal to the weight of the water displaced, that is, 1N.
Thus, weight of iron in water is
Wwater = Wair - W = 6.9 N
