One gamble measured in air has a weight of 100 N. When immersed in the water, its weight is 75 N. How much is the dice side? The density of the water is 1000kgm3 .

We can say that the weight of the dice decreased because of the buoyancy force of water on it.

So,we know that, buoyancy force of water acting on a substance = It's weight in air - weight in water

So,here the value is 10075=25N

So,this much force had acted on the whole volume V of the dice,as it was fully immersed.

So,we can write, Vρg=25 (where, ρ is the density of water)

Given, ρ=1000Kgm3

So,V=2510009.8=0.00254m3=2540cm3

For a dice,if its one side length is a its volume is a3

So,a3=2540

or, a=13.63cm

so,its side will be a2=13.632=185.76cm2
