Express your answer using two significant figures. kg/m3 19

Explanation / Answer

Mass of the block = wt/acceleration due to gravity = 23.7/9.8 = 2.418 kg

density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

Change in wt of the block = wt of the displaced water

(23.7 - 17) = density of water * volume of water displaced * acceleration due to gravity

volume of water displaced = 6.7/(1000 * 9.8) = 6.837 * 10^-4 m^3 (= 683.7 cm^3 )

(A) volume of block = volume of water displaced = 6.8 * 10^-4 m^3

(B) Density of block = mass/volume = 2.418/(6.837 * 10^-4) = 3500 Kg/m^3
