Problem

A plastic block with volume 8.0×10−4 m38.0\times10^{-4}\,\text{m}^3 is completely submerged in glycerin of density 1.26×103 kg m−31.26\times10^{3}\,\text{kg}\,\text{m}^{-3} on Earth, where g=9.81 m s−2g=9.81\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}. Calculate the magnitude of the buoyant force exerted on the block by the glycerin. Provide your answer to two significant figures.
