Question

A measuring cylinder contains 80 cm3 of a certain liquid. The liquid is poured into an empty beaker of mass 48 g. The total mass of the beaker and the liquid was found to be 136 g. (a) Calculate the mass of the liquid in grams. (b)Calculate the density of the liquid in gcm-3 .

Answer 1

Answer:

Let d be the density of fluid.

So , Initial reading of balance, F

1

=30dg N

After the level reaches 50cm

3

Final reading of balance , F

2

=50dg N

Given that difference between final and initial reading is 30g

i.e, F2 −F1

=30 g

⟹50dg−30dg=30g

⟹20dg=30g

⟹d=

20g

30g

⟹d=1.5g/cm

3

So, density of fluid is 1.5g/cm

Answer 2

yes your answer is right
