Step 1
Given: Volume of tin can (V) = 1100 cm³ = 1100 x 10^-6 m³ Density of water = 1000 kg/m³ Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s² Weight of water displaced = Volume of tin can x Density of water x g Weight of water displaced = 1100 x 10^-6 x 1000 x 9.8 Weight of Show more…

A tin can has a total volume of 1200 $\mathrm{cm}^{3}$ and a mass of 130 $\mathrm{g}$ . How many grams of lead shot of density 11.4 $\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ could it carry without sinking in water?
The densities of cork, lead, and water are 0.240 g/cm3, 11.34 g/cm3, and 0.997 g/cm3 at 25 °C, respectively. If 20.0 g of lead are placed inside an 85.0 cm3 piece of cork, what is the overall density, and will it float on water?

The density of lead is $11.3 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$. The water level in a graduated cylinder initially at 215 mL rises to 285 mL after a piece of lead is submerged. What is the mass, in grams, of the lead?
