Archimedes' principle can be used to calculate the density of a fluid as well as that of a solid. Suppose a chunk of gold with a mass of 490.0 g in air is found to have an apparent mass of 464.6 g when completely submerged in an unknown liquid.
(a)
What mass (in g) of fluid does the gold displace?
g
(b)
What is the volume of gold (in cm3), using its density as given in this table?
cm3
(c)
Calculate the fluid's density and identify it.
