Question

What is the density of object X if the mass is 100g with a volume of 6

Answer 1

4.0 g/ml

Explanation:

`Volume_X` = water displaced by X

Water displaced by object X = Final fluid level - Original fluid level

Water displaced by object X = 90 ml - 65 ml = 25 ml

`Volume_(X) = 25 ml`

Density of rock:

100 grams => 25 ml

x grams => 1 ml

Cross multiply

x*25 = 1*100

25x = 100

25x/25 = 100/25

x = 4

Density of object X = 4 g per 1 ml = 4.0 g/ml
