An object has a mass of 4.0 g. It is placed in a cylinder that has 6.0 ml of water. The water level rises to 10.0 ml after being submerged. What is the object's volume? What is the object's density?

Back

Volume of object = Final volume minus initial volume
(10.0 ml - 6.0 ml)

Volume of object = 4.0 ml

D = M/V

D = 4.0g divided by 4.0 ml = 1.0 g/ml
