Question

A measuring cylinder is filled with 50 ml of water,
a solid with mass 16 kg is then lowered into the
cylinders. The water level rises to 58 mL. Determine the density of the liquid.​

Answer 1

Density of the object is given as

p = 2 × 10 raise to the power 6 /m3Explanation:

As we know that initial volume of the water in the cylinder is

Vi = 58ml

Now when the solid mass is lowered into the water then its level rises to

Vi = 58ml

Now we know that

volume displaced by the solid = volume of the object

So we have

Vdisp = Vf - Vi

= 58 -50

so we have
