Question

A student drops a 95g object into a graduated cylindor that has 30ml of water in it. After the object is added to the cylinder the water level reads 63ml. What is the density of the object? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 2.88 g/mL

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

From the question

mass = 95g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 63 - 30 = 33 mL

We have

$density = \frac{95}{33} \\ = 2.87878787...$

We have the final answer as

2.88 g/mL

Hope this helps you
