Question

An Irregular metal object with a mass of 3.6 g. is placed in a grad. cylinder w/ 47.9 mL of H2O, the volume rises to 72.6. whats is the density of the object??

how do you figure this out?

Answer 1

Density is mass divided by volume.

The object has mass 3.6 g. It displaces ( 72.6 - 47.9 ) = 24.7 cubic centimeters. Therefore the density is

3.6 g / 24.7 cc
