Jonathon Rich · Answer 1

Mass of the rock

100 - 80 = 20g (water mass)

100 + 20 = 120g (total mass)

156 - 120 = 36g (rock mass)

Volume of the rock

V of water after adding rock - v of water before adding the rock

45 - 20 = 25 m^3 (volume of rock)

Density of the rock

Density = Mass/Volume

Density = 36/25

Density = 1.44 g/m^3
