To Find: The density of the rock when the mass of the Moon rock appears lesser to its actual value.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Formula Used:
According to the Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force which acts on the object equals to the amount of fluid’s weight which is displaced by the object. The mathematical expression for it is given as,
Where,
Water’s density =
Calculation:
Now substituting the value of parameters’ in the equation (3)
Now the density of the rock is,
Conclusion:
The density of the rock is
