    The density of the liquid = 1278.95 kg/m³

    Explanation:

    Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to its volume. The S. I unit of density is kg/m³.

    From Archimedes principle,

    R. d = Density of object/Density of liquid = Weight of object in air/Upthrust in liquid.

    D₁/D₂ = W/U ... Equation 1

    D₂ = D₁ (U/W) ... Equation 2

    Where D₁ = Density of aluminum, D₂ = Density of liquid, W = weight of aluminum, U = upthrust.

    m₁ = 3.8 kg, m₂ = 2.00 kg, g = 9.8 m/s²

    W = m₁g = 3.8 (9.8) = 37.24 N.

    U = lost in weight of the aluminum = (m₁ - m₂) g = (3.8-2.0) 9.8

    U = 1.8 (9.8) = 17.64 N.

    Constant: D₁ = 2700 kg/m³

    Substituting these values into equation 2

    D₂ = 2700 (17.64) / 37.24

    D₂ = 1278.95 kg/m³

    Thus the density of the liquid = 1278.95 kg/m³
