Calculate the Density of the following sample Sample Details

Calculate the Density of the following sample:

Sample Details Mass 58.43g Water Displacement: Initial volume (without sample): 341ml Final Volume (with sample): 363ml

Solution

Solution:

Note: A submerged body displaces a volume of water equal to the volume of object.

So the effective volume of the object (V) = Final volume of water with sample - Initial volume of water without sample

= 363-341 ml = 22 ml = 22 cm³

So the density of the sample, D = M/V = 58.43/22 = 2.656 gm/cm³ = 2656 Kg/m³ (answer).
