Answer:
1) The density of the object = 2500 kg/m³
2) The density of the oil = 1250 kg/m³
Explanation:
1) The information relating to the question are;
The mass of the object in air = 0.250 kgf
The mass of the object in water = 0.150 kgf
The mass of the object in the oil = 0.125 kgf
By Archimedes's principle, we have;
The upthrust on the object in water = Mass in air - mass in water = The weight of the water displaced
The upthrust on the object in water = 0.250 - 0.150 = 0.1 kgf
∴ The weight of the water displaced = 0.1 kgf
Given that the object is completely immersed in the water, we have;
The volume of the water displaced = The volume of the object
The volume of 0.1 kg of water water displaced = Mass of the water/(Density of water)
The volume of 0.1 kg of water = 0.1/1000 = 0.0001 m³
The density of the object = (Mass in air)/ volume = 0.250/0.0001 = 2500 kg/m³
The density of the object = 2500 kg/m³
2) Whereby the mass of the object in the oil = 0.125 kgf
The upthrust of the oil = The weight of the oil displaced
The upthrust of the oil on the object = Mass of the object in air - mass of the object in the oil
The upthrust of the oil on the object = 0.250 - 0.125 = 0.125 kgf
The weight of the oil displaced = The upthrust of the oil
Given that the volume of the oil displaced = The volume of the oil, we have;
The volume of the oil displaced = 0.0001 m³
The mass of the 0.0001 m³ = 0.125 kg
Therefore the density of the oil = 0.125/0.0001 = 1250 kg/m³.
The density of the oil = 1250 kg/m³.
