Take g = 9.81 m/s² = 9.81 N/kg
Gravitational force acting on the piece of metal = mg = (3.6 kg) × 9.81 (N kg⁻¹) = 35.3 N
Volume of the metal = (3.6 kg) / (9000 kg m⁻³) = 0.0004 m³
(a)
The density of air is very small, and thus the upthrust acting on the metal is negligible.
Reading of balance = 35.3 N ≈ 35 N (to 2 sig. fig.)
(b)
Density of water = 1000 kg m⁻³
Upthrust acting on the piece of metal = (0.0004 m³) × (1000 kg m⁻³) × (9.81 N/kg) = N
Reading of balance = (35.3 - 3.9) N = 31.4 N ≈ 31 N (to 2 sig. fig.)
(c)
Upthrust acting on the piece of metal = (0.0004 m³) × (1200 kg m⁻³) × (9.81 N/kg) = 4.7 N
Reading of balance = (35.3 - 4.7) N = 30.6 N ≈ 31 N (to 2 sig. fig.)
(d)
Mass of the metal to 2 sig. fig. = 35 N
Upthrust acting on the piece of the metal = (35 - 33) N = 2.3 N ≈ 2 N
Density of the liquid = (2 N) / [(9.81 N kg⁻¹) × (0.0004 m³)] = 510 kg m⁻³
