Question

you have an irregular shaped object. a graduated cylander has 10ml; then you add the obejct and the colume goes up to 12.4ml. the object weighs 872 centigrams. what is tge density?

Answer 1

The weight of the object = 872 centigrams = 8.72 gram

graduated cylander has 10ml liquid. After adding the object the voluem goes to 12.5 ml

Volume of the object = 12.4 ml - 10 ml = 2.4 ml

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = 8.72 gm Volume = 2.4 ml

Density = 8.72 g / 2.4 ml = 3.63 g/ml

Hence the density of the object is 3.63g/ml
