A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock that displaces 89.0 cm?

Incomplete question as the unit of volume is not written correctly.So the complete question is here:

A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock that displaces 89.0 cm³?

Answer:


d_(Density)=2.7g/cm^(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Mass m=240g

Volume V=89.0 cm³

To find

Density d

Solution

If rock displaces 89.0 cm³ of water means volume of rock is also 89cm³

So


d_(Density)=(mass)/(volume)\\d_(Density)=(240g)/(89.0cm^(3) ) \\d_(Density)=2.7g/cm^(3)
