Question

In this salt water floating egg experiment, how will you use these calculations to find the density of the egg? I’m really confused and need help please!

Answer 1

Glass 1 Freshwater  

The egg went directly to the base of the glass. Consequently it has sunk and did not drift  

237.0  

237 (1 glass)  

1.000

Glass 2  

Water with 2 teaspoons of salt  

A similar outcome for glass 2 as container 1 when egg was set into the container it sank to the base.  

248.4  

237  

1.048

Glass 3  

Water with 3 teaspoons of salt  

In reference to glass 1 and 2 the egg sank to the base for a third time.  

254.1  

237  

1.072  

Glass 4  

Water with 4 teaspoons of salt  

The egg remained gliding to where a little bit of the egg was standing out on the top, and when pushed down the egg returned up.  

259.8  

237  

1.096

Hope this helps!
