A12-kg piece of metal displaces 1.6 l of water when submerged. part a find its density. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

ρ = 7500 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 12 kg

Displace volume ,V= 1.6 L

We know that

1000 m ³ = 1 L

Therefore V= 0.0016 m ³

When metal piece is fully submerged

We know that

mass = Density x volume

Now by putting the values in the above equation

ρ = 7500 kg/m³

Therefore the density of the metal piece will be  7500 kg/m³.

tube or goog with be a great resource to with that question
