Question

numeric 1 point
a large piece of jewelry has a mass of 132.6 g. a graduated cylinder initially contains 48.6 ml water. when the jewelry is submerged in the graduated cylinder, the total volume increases to 61.2 ml. determine the density of this piece of jewelry.
answer

previous

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate volume of jewelry

The volume of the jewelry is equal to the increase in volume of water when the jewelry is submerged. So, $V = 61.2\ mL - 48.6\ mL=12.6\ mL$.

Step2: Calculate density of jewelry

The density formula is $
ho=\frac{m}{V}$, where $m = 132.6\ g$ and $V = 12.6\ mL$. So, $
ho=\frac{132.6\ g}{12.6\ mL}\approx10.52\ g/mL$.

Answer:

$10.52\ g/mL$
