The weight of a metal bracelet is measured to be 0.100 N in air and 0.092 N when immersed in water. Find its density

Respuesta :

The density of the substance is 12.5 g/cm^3.

The upthrust of a body is the upward force exerted on the body by a fluid. We have the following information in the question;

weight in air = 0.100 N

Weight in water = 0.092 N

Upthrust = weight in air - weight in water

Upthrust =  0.100 N - 0.092 N = 0.008 N

Now;

Relative density = weight in air/ upthrust = 0.100 N/0.008 N = 12.5

Hence the density of the substance is 12.5 g/cm^3.
