Question

1. 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?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

Density $
ho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $m$ is mass and $V$ is volume.

Step2: Identify given values

$m = 50$ g, $V=25$ mL.

Step3: Calculate density

$
ho=\frac{50\text{ g}}{25\text{ mL}} = 2$ g/mL.

Answer:

2 g/mL
