Document Content and Description Below

Gizmo Warm-up When you place an object in liquid, the downward pull of gravity causes it to start to sink. As the object sinks, the liquid pushes back up on the object with a force that opposes gr... avity.

Drag one of the green 50-g cubes into the rectangular “boat.” What happens? The boat sinks 2 cm into the liquid. 2. Add cubes until the boat sinks. What mass of cubes causes the boat to sink? 150 g (Note: In this Gizmo, the mass of the boat itself is insignificant.) 3. Click Reset.
