An aluminum cylinder weighs 1.07 N. When this same cylinder is completely submerged in alcohol, the volume of the displaced alcohol is 3.90 × 10−5 m3. If the cylinder is suspended from a scale while submerged in the alcohol, the scale reading is 0.743 N. What is the specific gravity of the alcohol? (The density of water is 1.00 × 103 kg/m3)

Question

An aluminum cylinder weighs 1.07 N. When this same cylinder is completely submerged in alcohol, the volume of the displaced alcohol is 3.90 × 10⁻⁵ m³. If the cylinder is suspended from a scale while submerged in the alcohol, the scale reading is 0.743 N. What is the specific gravity of the alcohol? (The density of water is 1.00 × 10³ kg/m³)
