Question

A ball was massed in a dish. The total mass was 15.6 grams. Treball was placed in a

cylinder containing 26.7 ml of water. The new water level was 38.9 ml. If the mass of the dish is 1.03 grams, what is the mass of the ball?

Answer 1

14.57g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of dish + ball = 15.6g

Initial volume of water in the cylinder = 26.7mL

Final volume of water in the cylinder = 38.9mL

Mass of dish = ?

Unknown

Mass of the ball = ?

Solution;

Since the mass of ball and dish is 15.6g,

Mass of the ball =Mass of ball + dish - mass of the dish

Insert the parameters and solve;

Mass of the ball = 15.6g - 1.03g = 14.57g
