Answer:
Volume of the sample: approximately .
Average density of the sample: approximately .
Assumption:
.
.
- Volume of the cord is negligible.
Explanation:
<h3>Total volume of the sample</h3>The size of the buoyant force is equal to .
That's also equal to the weight (weight, ) of water that the object displaces. To find the mass of water displaced from its weight, divide weight with
.
.
Assume that the density of water is . To the volume of water displaced from its mass, divide mass with density
.
.
Assume that the volume of the cord is negligible. Since the sample is fully-immersed in water, its volume should be the same as the volume of water it displaces.
.
Average density is equal to mass over volume.
To find the mass of the sample from its weight, divide with .
.
The volume of the sample is found in the previous part.
Divide mass with volume to find the average density.
