It is displacing 2.79 lb of water, so its volume is
(2.79 lb)/(62.4 lb/ft^3) = 0.0447 ft^3.
Its weight (in air) is 8.05 lb,
so its weight-density is
8.05 lb/(0.0447 ft^3) = 180.1 lb/ft^3
An irregularly shaped piece of a solid material weighs 8.05 lb in air and 5.26 lb...
an irregularly-shaped metal object weighs 5lbf in air and 4.3 lbf when submerged in water. what is the specific gravity? what metallic element is it most likely to be?
An irregularly shaped piece of aluminum has a mass of 35.65 g. What volume (in mL) of water should displace if it is solid all the way through? Aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3
Chemistry exercise: Suppose you have an irregularly shaped solid, known as "metal beads", in a container, that has a mass of 19.3628 g. Then suppose the solid pieces were gently poured into a 25 mL graduated cylinder filled with 4-5mL of water where the solid pieces were completely submerged in the water and the new water level should be < 10mL. What could approximately or possibly be the final volume of water after the metal sample is introduced?
If an irregularly shaped object displaces 3.0 gallons of water, and weighs 14.25 pounds, calculate the density of the object in terms of grams and cubic centimeters. Show steps.
A 2-liter graduated cylinder initially contains 500ml of water. An irregularly shaped object having a mass of 105gm is submerged into the water. The final volume of the water in the cylinder is 1025ml. Determine the density of the object.
An irregularly-shaped piece of Aluminum has a mass of 76.6 grams. What is the volume of this piece of Aluminum if its density is 2.70 g/cm3?
2. A piece of jewelry was tested by method A (Density of Irregularly Shaped Solids by Water Displacement) to determine if it was pure silver or a silver-plated resin. The mass of the jewelry was 1.52 g. A chemist measured the volume displaced by the item, then repeated the experiment. She obtained two different values, 0.16 mL and 0.14 mL. Calculate the density of this item using each volume amount. How do the experimentally obtained density values compare to that...
Problem 1. A 15 kg ball weighs 147 N in air and weighs 118 N when submerged in water. The buoyant force of the water on the ball is: Problem 2. 3.5 kg of a solid copper (density: 8,920 kg/m3 ) submerged in water. What is the buoyant force on the solid coppor block in the water?
Someone tries to sell you a solid but irregularly shaped lump of gold, but you are suspicious because you think that it feels too light. Because it is irregularly shaped, you cannot easily calculate its volume from measurable linear dimensions. So this is what you do. You weigh the lump of gold on a pan balance (weight scale) that reads in kg up to a maximum of 80 kg. The scale reading is 25.95 kg with the gold lump resting...
An object has a weight of 8N in air. However, it apparently weighs only 4N when it is completely submerged in water. What is the density of the object?
