Answer:
The new reading of the water level is 54.81 mL.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of object = 26.7 g
Density of object = 0.767 g/mL
Volume of water = 20 mL
New reading of the water level =?
Next, we shall determine the volume of the object. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of object = 26.7 g
Density of object = 0.767 g/mL
Volume of object =?
Density = mass /volume
0.767 = 26.7 / volume of object
Cross multiply
0.767 × Volume of object = 26.7
Divide both side by 0.767
Volume of object = 26.7 / 0.767
Volume of object = 34.81 mL
Finally, we shall determine the new reading of the water level. This can be obtained as follow:
Volume of water = 20 mL
Volume of object = 34.81 mL
New reading of the water level =?
New reading of the water level = (Volume of water) + (Volume of object)
New reading = 20 + 34.81
New reading of the water level = 54.81 mL
