Question

a 45 gram marble is dropped into a graduated cylinder with 30ml of water. The water level increases to 45.0 ml. What is the density of the marble?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 g/mL

Explanation:

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

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

From the question we have

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 45 - 30 = 15 ml

We have

$density = \frac{45}{15} = 3$

We have the final answer as

3 g/mL

Hope this helps you
