Answer:
3333.33 kg/m³
Explanation:
Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to its volume.
The unit of density is kg/m³.
From Archimedes principle,
R.d = W/U = D/D'
Where R.d = relative density, W = weight of the object in air, u = upthrust in water, D = Density of the object, D' = Density of water.
W/U = D/D'
making D the subject of the equation
D = D'(W/U).......................... Equation 1
Given: W = 5.0 N, U = 5.0 -3.5 = 1.5 N, D' = 1000 kg/m³
Note: U = lost in weight = weight in air - weight in water
Substitute into equation 1
D = 1000(5/1.5)
D = 3333.33 kg/m³
Thus the density of the object = 3333.33 kg/m³
