How much force is required to hold an empty carton of volume 1.5 L beneath the surface in a sink of water? Assume the carton is empty, so its own weight is negligibly small.

It will require 14.715 N of force to hold the cartoon beneath the water.

Explanation:

Given the the volume of cartoon is 1.5 liters.

We need to find the force required to hold this cartoon beneath the water.

As we know from the Archimedes principle that the net force is equal to the volume of liquid displaced.

Given volume of the cartoon is 1.5 liters. So, 1.5 liters of water will be displaced.

And we know the density of the water is . That is

And

So, it will require 14.715 N of force to hold 1.5 liter volume of cartoon beneath the water.

Option B, Concept

Explanation:

Any general idea about anything is termed as concept. Concept depicts an abstract idea about any process, notion, observation, individual or beliefs that originates in the mind or speech or thoughts of any individual. Some believe that concepts are the building blocks of though and they play an essential role in cognitive way of thinking and processing information.

These concepts may or may not require basis for existence.

Hence, option B is correct.

A CONCEPT is the general idea of objects, events, animals, or people based on common features, traits, or characteristics.
