Question

A block of silver displaces 500ml of water in a measuring cylinder. If the density of silver is 10300kgm^(-3), the mass of the block is:


URGENT

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that the volume of water displaced is the volume of silver

At first convert 500 ml into metre cube.

1 litre=1/1000m^3

or,1000 ml=1/1000 m^3

or,500 ml=5×10^-4 m^3

Now,

Density=mass/volume

or,mass=density × volume

or,mass=10300×5×10^-4=5.15 kg(ans)
