An object is hanging from a rope. when it is held in air the tension in the rope is 8.86 n, and when it is submerged in water the tension is 7.84 n. what is the density of the the object

8684.2 kg/m³

Explanation:

Tension in the rope as a result of the weight = 8.86 N

Tension in the rope when submerge in water = 7.84

upthrust = 8.86 - 7.84 =1.02 N = mass of water displaced × acceleration due to gravity

Mass of water displaced = 1.02 / 9.81 = 0.104 kg

density of water = mass of water / volume of water

make volume subject of the formula

volume of water displaced = mass / density ( 1000) = 0.104 / 1000 = 0.000104 m³

volume of the object = volume of water displaced

density of the object = mass of the object / volume of the object = (8.86 / 9.81) / 0.000104 = 0.9032 / 0.000104 = 8684.2 kg/m³

found in the nucleus

has mass of one amu
