Question

6. If an object is an irregularly shaped solid and it is dropped into a graduated cylinder and
it displaces 25 mL of water and has a mass of 50 grams what is the density of this
irregular shaped object?

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 2 g/mL

Explanation:

Given that,

Water displaced by an object in a graduated cylinder, V = 25 mL

Mass of the object, m = 50 g

We need to find the density of this irregular shaped object. It is given by mass per unit volume. So,

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{50\ g}{25\ mL}\\\\d=2\ g/mL$

So, the density of the object is 2 g/mL.
