An object that sinks in water has a mass in air of 0.0675 kg. Its apparent mass when submerged in water is 0.0424 kg. What is the specific gravity SG of the object? What material is the object probably made?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.  SG  

true

=2.689

2. The object is probably some sort of minerals and rocks such as Feldspar, Corals, Beryl, etc.

Explanation:

Given:

mass in the air= 0.0675 kg

mass in water= 0.0424 kg

The specific gravity of the object will be 2.6892. It is the ratio of the density of the given fluid and the standard fluid.

What is density?

Density is specified as the mass divided by the volume. It is represented by the unit of measurement as kg/m³.

The mass of the object in air;

m=Vρ₀

m=0.0675 kg

Buoyant force on the object;

B= Vρₐg

For equilibrium;

N+B=m₀g

n=m₀g-Vρₓg

N/g=m₀-Vρₓ

N/g=0.0424 kg

[tex]\rm \frac{V\rho_0}{V\rho_x} =\frac{0.0675 }{m_0-0.0424 \ kg} \\\\ \frac{\rho_0}{\rho_x} =\frac{0.0675}{0.0675-0.0424} \\\\ \frac{\rho_0}{\rho_x} =2.6892[/tex]

Hence, the specific gravity of the object will be 2.6892.
