Question

As an example, a 4.00-kgkg aluminum ball has an apparent mass of 2.40 kgkg when submerged in a particular liquid: calculate the density of the liquid.

Answer 1

1081.08108 kg/m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is given by

`V=(m)/(\rho)\\\Rightarrow V=(4)/(2700)\\\Rightarrow V=0.00148\ m^3`

The volume of the liquid displaced is 0.00148 m³

Mass of displaced liquid

`4-2.4=1.6\ kg`

Density is given by

`\rho=(m)/(V)\\\Rightarrow \rho=(1.6)/(0.00148)\\\Rightarrow \rho=1081.08108\ kg/m^3`

The density of the liquid is 1081.08108 kg/m³
