Answer:
Density of mineral is 1.2[tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex] .
Given:
mass = 9.6 gram
Initial volume = 8 ml
Final volume = 16 ml
To find:
Density of the mineral = ?
Formula used:
density = [tex]\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
Solution:
According to Archimedes principle the volume of liquid displace is equal to the volume of mineral.
volume of mineral = 16 ml - 8 ml = 8 ml = 8 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex]
Density of the mineral is given by,
density = [tex]\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
density = [tex]\frac{9.6}{8}[/tex]
density = 1.2 [tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex]
Density of mineral is 1.2[tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex] .
