Question

A 17-kg

piece of metal displaces 2.8 L

of water when submerged. what is its density?

Answer 1

Answer: Density = 6071.428571 kg/m³

Explanation: Given that mass m=17 kg

volume displaced v=2.8L

We know that

density = mass/volume

Here density=17kg/2.8L

Also 1L=1000m³ Hence

density=17kg/2.8×10⁻³m³

=6071.428571 kg/m³
