Chapter 1, Problem 1.46P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The more and less dense liquid than water is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Mass and volume are physical quantities and the units of mass and volume are fundamental units. Density is the ratio of mass to the volume. The unit of volume is derived from the units of mass and volume. The SI unit of density is ${\text{kg/m}}^{\text{3}}$. The formula to calculate density is,

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possible value of the density of liquid B is to be identified.
