    8684.2 kg/m³

    Explanation:

    Tension in the rope as a result of the weight = 8.86 N

    Tension in the rope when submerge in water = 7.84

    upthrust = 8.86 - 7.84 = 1.02 N = mass of water displaced * acceleration due to gravity

    Mass of water displaced = 1.02 / 9.81 = 0.104 kg

    density of water = mass of water / volume of water

    make volume subject of the formula

    volume of water displaced = mass / density (1000) = 0.104 / 1000 = 0.000104 m³

    volume of the object = volume of water displaced

    density of the object = mass of the object / volume of the object = (8.86 / 9.81) / 0.000104 = 0.9032 / 0.000104 = 8684.2 kg/m³
