Calculate the buoyant force of a piece of cork of 8cm3 that floats in water. Density of cork is 207kg/m3. ?
I need the mass, in order to get the volume to apply t to the Buoyancy formula of: B=(W)object=(m)object(g)

Explanation:
From Archimedes Principle, any object partially or totally submerged in a fluid is buoyed upwards with a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
(assuming the density of water is at standard temperature and pressure, and that the cork is totally submerged as it floats in the water)
