Question

The figure below shows the change in volume of water in a measuring cylinder when an irregular solid is immersed in it.

Given that the mass of the solid is 567g determine the density of the solid in Kg/m3. (Give your answer correct to 2 d.p)

Answer 1

Volume of water displaced = 100 – 60 = 40cm³
Volume of water displaced = Vol. of stone = 40cm3 
P=MV
P=^567g/_40cm³=14.175g/cm³
P=14.18g/cm³
