The toy hammer has a mass of 55 grams. calculate the density of the hammer by using the picture above. (density=mass/volume) show your work d= m= v=

nice ish diagram

m 55g

scale readings ... 69, 65 ... diff 4 units

4 x area of cross section = vol displ = vol hammer

dens = 4/55xarea ... units

The correct answer is 13.75 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density (D) is described as the mass of a substance (usually in grams) divided by the substance's volume (usually in cubic centimeter) as described in the question.

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

The mass (M) of the hammer is 55 grams

while the volume (V) from the picture can be determined by the change in volume of the liquid in the cylinder. The lower meniscus of the water liquid is read; 69 - 65 = 4 cm³

Hence,

Density = 55 ÷ 4 = 13.75 g/cm³

b would be the answer
