    a) Volume of anchor is 0.019 m³b) Weight of anchor in air is 1463.17 N

    Explanation:

    a) Weight loss in water = Volume of object x density of water x acceleration due to gravity

    183 = Volume of anchor x 1000 x 9.81

    Volume of anchor = 0.019 m³

    b) Weight = Mass x acceleration due to gravity = Volume x Density x acceleration due to gravity

    Weight of anchor in air = Volume of anchor x Density of anchor x acceleration due to gravity

    Weight of anchor in air = 0.019 x 7850 x 9.81 = 1463.17 N

    Weight of anchor in air = 1463.17 N
