(1) Imagine that you have a sample of metal and you determine that its mass is 108.4 grams. When you put it into a graduated cylinder initially filled with water up to the 33 ml mark (without the metal in it), the level of the water rises to the 48 ml mark (with the metal in it).
What is the density of the metal?
Which of the metals listed on page 16 of the manual is it?
ALSO:
(2) In your own words, give an example of how checking the density of a particular material or object is important in business/industry, everyday life or in history. If you wish, you can look up the famous story of the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes and the gold crown and summarize it in your own words.
