The weight of a metal bracelet is measured to be 0.12200 N in air and 0.07800 N when immersed in water. Find its density.
The buoyancy force = (0.12200 N - 0.07800 N)
= 0.04400 N.
So Weight of Water displaced = 0.04400/9.8 ( F = ma and a = gravity of Earth )
= 0.00449 Kg
Vollume of Water displaced = 0.00449/ 1000
= 4.49 * 10-6 m3
Vollume of Water displaced = Vollume of metal bracelet
Mass of Bracelet = 0.12200 / 9.8 Kg
Density = Mass / Vollume
= 0.12200 / (9.8 * 4.49 *10-6 )
= 2.7726 * 103 Kg/m3
or = 2772.6 Kg/m3
