Answer:
3.8 g/mL
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Volume of Water = 60 mL
Volume of Water + Object = 73.5 mL
Mass of object = 51.3 g
Density of object =?
Next, we shall determine the volume of the object. This can be obtained as follow:
Volume of Water = 60 mL
Volume of Water + Object = 73.5 mL
Volume of object =?
Volume of object = (Volume of Water + Object) – (Volume of Water)
Volume of object = 73.5 – 60
Volume of object = 13.5 mL
Finally, we shall determine the density of the object as illustrated below:
Volume of object = 13.5 mL
Mass of object = 51.3 g
Density of object =?
Density = mass /volume
Density of object = 51.3 /13.5
Density of object = 3.8 g/mL
Thus, the density of the object is 3.8 g/mL
