Answer:
density d = 1.59 g/cm^3
The density of the rock is 1.59 g/cm^3
Explanation:
The density of an object can be derived by measuring its mass and then measuring its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder.
Density = mass/volume of water displaced
d = m/v ........1
Given;
mass m = 344 g
Volume of water displaced v = 216 cm^3
from equation 1, we can calculate the value of the density;
Substituting the given values;
d = 344/216 g/cm^3
d = 1.592592592592 g/cm^3
d = 1.59 g/cm^3
The density of the rock is 1.59 g/cm^3
