A piece of copper having a cavity weighs 264 g in air and 221 g in water ,Find the volume of the cavity if the density of copper is 8.8g/cm^3

Answer»

Given: A PIECE of copper having an internal cavity weighs 264 g in air and 221 g in WATER. the density of copper is 8.8 g cm-3 what is the volume of the cavity ?

As 

loss in the weight of the piece in the water will refer to the buoyancy ACTING in the upward direction, FB = V ρ g = 43 g

=>  V = 4.39 cm3

Volume of copper piece = 264/8.8 = 30 cm3

Hence,

Volume of the cavity = (30-4.39) cm3 = 25.61 cm3
