Question

A 25 kg rock is placed in a graduated cylinder with water.the volume of the fluid is 18.3ml.calculate the density of the rock in g/ml

Answer 1

Answer:

=> 1366.120 g/mL.

Explanation:

To determine the formula to use in solving such a problem, you have to consider what you have been given.

We have;

mass (m)     = 25 Kg

Volume (v) = 18.3 mL.

From our question, we are to determine the density (rho) of the rock.

The formula:

$p = \frac{m}{v}$

First let's convert 25 Kg to g;

1 Kg    = 1000 g

25 Kg = ?

$= \frac{25 × 1000}{1}$

= 25000 g

Substitute the values into the formula:

$p = \frac{25000 g}{18.3 ml}$

= 1366.120 g/mL.

Therefore, the density (rho) of the rock is  1366.120 g/mL.
