Answer:
8977.7 kg/m^3
Explanation:
Volume of water displaced = 55 cm^3 = 55 x 10^-6 m^3
Reading of balance when block is immersed in water = 4.3 N
According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed n a liquid partly or wholly, then there is a loss in the weight of body which is called upthrust or buoyant force. this buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body.
Buoyant force = weight of the water displaced by the block
Buoyant force = Volume of water displaced x density of water x g
= 55 x 10^-6 x 1000 x .8 = 0.539 N
True weight of the body = Weight of body in water + buoyant force
m g = 4.3 + 0.539 = 4.839
m = 0.4937 kg
Density of block = mass of block / volume of block
=
Density of block = 8977.7 kg/m^3
