Question 1 Report
A student uses a displacement can to find the volume of a key. The key's mass is 47.4 g. Calculate its density.
The correct answer is C (7.9 g/cm3). Water pushed out of a full displacement can equals the object's volume, so \( V = 6\ \text{cm}^3 \) and \( \rho = \frac{47.4}{6} = 7.9\ \text{g/cm}^3 \). Dividing volume by mass gives the inverted 0.13, while 2.9 and 8.9 do not follow from \( m/V \).
