A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 333-g rock that displaces 51 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes’ principle.)

Respuesta :

Answer: The density of the object will be 6.53 g/ml.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

[tex]Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}[/tex]

Given : Mass of rock = 333 grams

volume of rock = Volume of water displaced = [tex]51cm^3[/tex]= 51 ml

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]Density=\frac{333g}{51ml}=6.53g/ml[/tex]

Thus density of the rock will be 6.53 g/ml
