Question

Calculate the volume in cm3 of a solid of density 5000 kg/m3 and mass of 0.5 kg​

Answer 1

Answer:

= 0.4 kg f

Explanation:

Density ρ = 5000 kg/m

3

Weight = 0.5 kg f in air

mass M = 0.5 kg

Volume V = M / ρ

= 0.5 / 5000 = 10

m

mass of water displaced = V

∗

density of water

= 10

∗1000 = 0.1 kg

Apparent weight = wt in air - wt of water displaced

= 0.5 kg f - 0.1 kg f

= 0.4 kg f
