SUMMARY
The volume of water displaced by 1.82 grams of cobalt, with a density of 8.9 g/mL, is calculated using the formula Volume = mass/density. Substituting the values, the volume displaced is 0.204 mL. Since cobalt's density is greater than that of water, it confirms that the object displaces a volume equal to its own when fully submerged. Additionally, the mass of the liquid displaced equals the mass of the cobalt object.
