Question

What is the density of an object that has a mass of 6.5 g and when placed in water displaces the volume from 4.5mL to 11.8mL? round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

$\rho =0.9g/mL$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, due to the volume displacement caused the by the object's submersion, it's volume is:

$V=11.8mL-4.5mL=7.3 mL$

In such a way, considering the mathematical definition of density, it turns out:

$\rho =\frac{m}{V}=\frac{6.5g}{7.3mL}\\ \\\rho =0.89g/mL$

Rounding to the nearest tenth we finally obtain:

$\rho =0.9g/mL$

Regards.
