Answer: The density of object is 3.4 g/mL
Explanation:
We are given:
Volume of cylinder without object, [tex]V_1[/tex] = 21.2 mL
Volume of cylinder with object, [tex]V_2[/tex] = 27.8 mL
Volume of object = [tex]V_2-V_1=27.8-21.2=6.6mL[/tex]
To calculate volume of a substance, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}[/tex]
We are given:
Mass of object = 22.4 g
Volume of object = 6.6 mL
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\text{Density of object}=\frac{22.4g}{6.6mL}\\\\\text{Density of object}=3.4g/mL[/tex]
Hence, the density of object is 3.4 g/mL
