OK So I took your equation and I think that I did the math correct, but I think that some of my conversions are incorrect in places.
Anyway: here is what I got
diss = m_c/p_w = v_w
diss = 227/1 = 227cm^3
Taking that and subtracting the original volume of the can:
New Vol =...
I see where I might have gone wrong, but...
so should I use this formula to find the water displaced?
diss = m_c/p_w = v_w
If so that doesn't seem right to me... would I take this new displacement and try to convert it back to Newtons so that I can find the weight difference? After that...
ok, well after looking at this for a VERY long time and using a friends help this is what I have come up with...
Vc=282.74cm3
Mc=0.227kg
Finding the specific gravity of the can (pc):
pc=m/V
pc=0.227/0.2827
pc=0.805m3
Taking this and the mass of the can I *think* that I can find the...
OP did you ever figure this out... I have this exact same problem and can't figure it out!
As a matter of fact I got the exact same answers as you did above with the add info below:
density of can (pc)=0.805cm3
after that I get just as stuck you were.
