A piece of metal has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 2 cm3 What is its specific gravity?
Specific gravity refers to the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard, which is usually water. A piece of metal that has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 2 cm3 has a specific gravity of 100.
Does a piece of wood float or sink into water?
The piece of wood floats in water because its specific gravity is less than water.
A piece of metal has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 40 cm3 What is its specific gravity?
5g/cm3
How do you measure the density of a metal?
-- Get a pure piece of it. The size of the piece doesn't matter. -- Measure the mass of the piece. -- Measure the volume of the piece. -- The density of the substance is mass of the piece/volume of the piece.
Is the force of gravity stronger on a piece of iron than on a piece of wood if both have the same mass?
The gravity would stay the same. Weight and density has no effect on the gravitation on the object when on earth. Everything is pulled the same.
Why does hydrometer is used to find the density of dock?
It is not used for this.A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (or relative density) of liquids, NOT rock.To measure the density of a rock you weigh a piece of it in air, then measure the volume of water it displaces in a measuring jug.Density = mass/volume.
Why the weight of certain objects in water is zero?
If the object has the same density as water (specific gravity=1) then the weight of the object will be equal to the weight of water it displaces, so it will have neutral buoyancy and apparently weigh nothing. If the object has a lower density than water (specific gravity<water) then it will have positive buoyancy - like a piece of polystyrene foam - and will float on the top of water. In effect the excess weigh of the water it displaces is pushing it up. If the object has a higher density than water (S.G.>1) then it will sink, outweighing the volume of water it displaces. Google "Archimedes Principle". Note that the density of water can vary. Pure water has a density, or specific gravity, of 1.00, but sea water is denser due to the dissolved salt, which is why you can float more easily in the ocean. (The Dead Sea is an extreme example.) Alcoholic drinks are less dense than water, because of the ethanol they contain, and measuring their specific gravity gives a guide to their strength.
Why does a piece of wood float when a piece of lead sinks and they both have the same volume?
The density of the wood is lower than the density of the water, so the water displaces the wood and is held to the 'floor' by gravity. Lead is more dense, so it can displace the water and sink.
A piece of metal has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 2 cm3 What is its specific gravity?
Specific gravity refers to the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard, which is usually water. A piece of metal that has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 2 cm3 has a specific gravity of 100.
A 6 kg piece of metal displaces 1 liter of water when submerged what is its density?
If the water is at standard temperature and pressure (25 degrees Celsius and one atmosphere), the water has density of 1 kilogram per liter. When submerged, the metal displaces its own volume of water. Therefore, the volume of the metal is 1 liter, and the density of the metal is 6 kg/liter.
Does a piece of wood float or sink into water?
The piece of wood floats in water because its specific gravity is less than water.
A piece of metal has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 40 cm3 What is its specific gravity?
5g/cm3
How are mass volume and density are related?
Density = Mass / Volume
What is the specific gravity of an American 5 cent piece?
7-6-11>>> With the exception of the War Nickels struck with 35% silver, all US 5 cent coins have the Specific Gravity of 8.92

What is the density of a piece of wood that weighs 62 grams and displaces 0.525 l of water?
This is clearly a piece of wood that is forcibly submerged since its density would require it to float. So the volume of displaced water should be equal to the volume of the whole piece of wood. Then, density = mass/volume = 62/0.525 g/L = 62/525 g/ml = 0.12 g/ml which is a lot less dense than balsa (0.16 g/ml)!
Would the density of a piece of gold be different depending on its size?
Pure gold has a specific density like all other substances.If an another substance was mixed with gold the density may fluctuate.Refer to Archimedes
