The discussion revolves around calculating the density of a stone dropped into an overflow container. The container has a maximum overflow level of 100 cm³ and initially contains 80 cm³ of water. When the 120 g stone is added, the water level rises by 10 cm³.
There are multiple inquiries about the relationship between mass, volume, and density, with some participants expressing uncertainty about how to apply the relevant equation. Guidance on the formula d = m/v has been mentioned, but there is no consensus on how to proceed with the specific values from the problem.
Participants are discussing the implications of the water displacement caused by the stone and are questioning the values of mass and volume in relation to the density calculation.
What are the units of density?Bobs said:A overflow container that its overflow level is $100$ $cm^3$ has $80$ $cm^3$ water. When a stone that is $120$ $g$ is being dropped into the overflow container, the water increases $10$ $cm^3$.
How to find the density?
I currently don't have any idea about it.
In this specific problem, what is m equal to?Bobs said:That's all are d = m/v but I don't know how to apply it.
