When a 65 N stone is attached to a spring scale and is submerged inwater, the spring scale reads 38 N. What is the density of thestone?

___________ kg/m3

You can use the definition of density and Archimedes' principle tofind the density of the stone. The difference between the weight ofthe stone in air and in water is the buoyant force acting on thestone.
