Sink or Float? Density #4 R. Bryant 2008 WSMS – Based on “Science Starters” by T. Trimpe at http://sciencespot.net
Find the density of the object below. The object was placed on a triple beam balance. 20 0 An object was dropped into a graduated cylinder that contained 40 mL. Determine the volume of that object. 5.4 Image from http://www.edinformatics.com/math_science/mass.htm
The solution … Volume = Volume of water & object – volume of water V = 65 mL – 40 mL V = 25 mL M = 25.4 g Density = Mass ÷ Volume D = 25.4 g ÷ 25 mL D = 1.01 g/mL ** The object will sink!
