1.

A student wishes to determine the density of an irregularly-shaped stone.
First he finds the mass of the stone. Next he lowers the stone into a measuring cylinder containing water.
The diagrams show the measuring cylinder before and after the stone is lowered into it.

How should the student calculate the density of the stone?

a)
  1. mass of stone × reading 2

b)
  1. mass of stone × (reading 2 – reading 1)

c)
  1. mass of stone ÷ reading 2

d)
  1. mass of stone ÷ (reading 2 – reading 1)
