Bird bones have air pockets in them to reduce their weight-this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone in air and in water and finds its mass is 49.3 g and its apparent mass when submerged is 2.76 g (the bone is watertight). (a) What mass (in g) of water is displaced? 9 (b) What is the volume (in cm³) of the bone? cm³ (c) What is its average density (in g/cm³)? g/cm³
