Answer:
The density of the butter = 862.07 kg/m³
Step-by-step explanation:
Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of that substance. The S.I unit of density is kg/m³
Density can be represented as,
D = m/v ....................... Equation 1
Where D = density of the butter, m = mass of the butter, v = volume of the butter.
Note: From Archimedes principle, an object displace an amount of water equal to his own volume when immersed in water.
Given: m = 10 g = 0.01 kg,
v = volume of water displaced in the cylinder = 11.6 mL. = 11.6/1000000 = 0.0000116 m³
Substituting these values into equation 1
D = 0.01/0.0000116
D = 862.07 kg/m³
Thus the density of the butter = 862.07 kg/m³
Thus The d
