Question

Volume can also be measured by displacement of a liquid. Object c is an irregular shape and has a mass of 112.14 g. You put object c into a 100 ml graduated cylinder containing 35.5 ml of water, and the water level rises to 74.0 ml. What is the density of object c

Answer 1

We know that density = Mass/Volume

Here mass = 112.14 g = 0.11214 kg

Volume = Final volume of graduated cylinder-Initial volume of graduated cylinder

            = 74.0-35.5 = 38.5 ml $3.85*10^{-5}m^3$

So density = $\frac{0.11214}{3.85*10^{-5}} = 2912.73 kg/m^3$

So density of object C = 2912.73$kg/m^3$
