A metal cube has a mass og 29.7 g. The cube is placed into 50 mL of water, and the volume jumps up to 50 mL in the graduated cylinder. What is the density of the cube?

Answer 1

If I am understanding the question correctly, the new volume would have increased 50 mL. (Steven, please correct me if I am not getting this correctly but I will be proceeding forward with with assumption.) The density of an object is mass divided by volume. In this case, it will be:

29.7 grams/50 mL = 0.59 g/mL
