This physics problem (pictured below) was given to us on an ungraded practice worksheet. Because the island is floating, I know that the formula (ρ island)(Volume island)=(ρ saltwater)(Volume saltwater) can be used, but I cannot figure out what the volume of the island is. My work so far is pictured below.
A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder filled with water.
What is the density in grams per cubic centimeter , of a 230 -g rock that displaces 88 cm^3 of water ?
Using the density table provided in the directions or the density table in the unit's overview, find the following, to the nearest thousandth when appropriate. Remember to label units!
An ice bowl is fashioned out of one hemisphere out of another hemisphere. The bowl is carved out of ice with the “outer sphere” with a radius of 17 cm and the “inner sphere” with a radius of 11 cm. What does the bowl weigh in grams? Use the number for the volume calculation.
Ice=0.95g/cm^3

- A rock with mass 254 grams is found to displace 199 cubic centimeters of water when fully immersed. What is its (the rock's) density in kilograms per cubic meter? Don't put the unit; just the number.arrow_forwardA tank is in the form of inverted right circular cone 8 m across the top and 10 m deep (as shown in the figure). If it is filled to the height 8 m with oil weighing 950 kg/m3 , solve the work done in pumping the oil to the top of the tank.
