a10 gram pat of butter raise the water level in a 50 ml graduated cylinder by 11.6 mL. What is the density of the butte?

The density of the butter = 862.07 kg/m³

Explanation:

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

Density can be represented as,

D = m/v ... Equation 1

Where D = density of the butter, m = mass of the butter, v = volume of the butter.

Note: From Archimedes principle, an object displace an amount of water equal to his own volume when immersed in water.

Given: m = 10 g = 0.01 kg,

v = volume of water displaced in the cylinder = 11.6 mL. = 11.6/1000000 = 0.0000116 m³

Substituting these values into equation 1

D = 0.01/0.0000116

D = 862.07 kg/m³

Thus the density of the butter = 862.07 kg/m³

Thus The d
