ANSWERS

Q1

Wood in Oil = Float
Wood in Mercury = Float
Plastic in Oil = Sink
Steel in Mercury = Float
Silver in Air = Sink
Gold in Mercury (this experiment must be done rapidly as the gold will dissolve quickly) = Sink
Helium balloon = Float

Q2

Dimensions: 0.200 x 0.090 x 0.065 (0.065 = 3.d.p.)

Mass of brick => m = W/g = 22.2/10 = 2.2kg

Volume of Brick => V = 0.200 x 0.090 x 0.065 = 0.00126 Density of Brick => p = mass / volume = 2.2/0.00126 = 1746.031.....

= 1746 kg/m^3

Q3

(1.93kg = 1930g)

volume of crown = mass / density => 1930 / 19.3 = 100cm3

new water level = 800 + 100 = 900cm3 (if pure gold)

IF not pure gold, the water level will be different because density affects the volume displaced (v = m/p)
