Answer:
Volume of secret cavity = 4 x 10⁻⁶m³
Explanation:
The weight of the sculpture in air is 15.76 N
Mass of the sculpture = 1.61 kg
Mass = Volume x Density
1.61 = V x 8470
Volume of brass =1.90 x 10⁻⁴ m³
When it is submerged in water, the weight is 13.86 N.
That is
Weight of sculpture - Weight of water displaced = 13.86 N
15.76 - Weight of water displaced = 13.86
Weight of water displaced = 1.9 N
Mass of water displaced = 0.194 kg
Mass = Volume x Density
0.194 = V x 1000
Volume of water displaced =1.94 x 10⁻⁴ m³
Volume of secret cavity = Volume of water displaced - Volume of brass material
Volume of secret cavity = 1.94 x 10⁻⁴-1.94 x 10⁻⁴ = 0.04x 10⁻⁴ = 4 x 10⁻⁶m³
