Question

A rock with a mass of 25 g is added to a graduated cylinder containing 45 mL of water. The water level rises to the 50mL mark. Based on this information, what is the density of the rock?

Answer 1

We know the density of water is 1 gm/ml

Mass of rock = 25 g

Volume of rock = 5 ml

So the density of the rock is 25 g / 5 ml = 5 gm / ml
