Answer:

The correct answer is 13.75 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Density (D) is described as the mass of a substance (usually in grams) divided by the substance's volume (usually in cubic centimeter) as described in the question.

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

The mass (M) of the hammer is 55 grams

while the volume (V) from the picture can be determined by the change in volume of the liquid in the cylinder. The lower meniscus of the water liquid is read; 69 - 65 = 4 cm³

Hence,

Density = 55 ÷ 4 = 13.75 g/cm³
