A ball was massed in a dish. The total mass was 15.6 grams. Treball was placed in a
cylinder containing 26.7 ml of water. The new water level was 38.9 ml. If the mass of the dish is 1.03 grams, what is the mass of the ball?

Respuesta :

Answer:

14.57g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of dish + ball  = 15.6g

Initial volume of water in the cylinder  = 26.7mL  

Final volume of water in the cylinder  = 38.9mL

Mass of dish = ?

Unknown

Mass of the ball = ?

Solution;

 Since the mass of ball and dish is 15.6g,

 Mass of the ball  =Mass of ball + dish  - mass of the dish

 Insert the parameters and solve;

 Mass of the ball  = 15.6g  - 1.03g  = 14.57g
