Answer:
7.92 g/ml
Explanation:
Given that, the volume of water in the graduated cylinder is,
[tex]V_{w}=45.50 ml[/tex]
Volume of (water+iron shot) is,
[tex]V_{w+Fe}=49.10 ml[/tex]
Now the volume of iron shot can be calculate as,
[tex]V_{Fe}=V_{w+Fe}-V_{w}\\V_{Fe}=49.10 ml-45.50 ml\\V_{Fe}=3.6 ml[/tex]
And the mass of the iron shot which is given is 28.5 g.
Now the density can be calculated as,
[tex]D=\frac{m}{V}[/tex]
Here, m is the mass, V is the volume
Now,
[tex]D=\frac{28.5}{3.6}\\D=7.92 gm/ml[/tex]
Therefore, the density of iron is 7.92 g/ml.
