I got a small conserning how to determine if a object is solid or hollow.
"Verify if a copper object with density of 8,96 g/m^3, which weights 2,8N on the air and when submersive on water (p=998 kg/m^3) weights 1,3N, is it solid or hollow?"
 
Physics news on Phys.org
How could you solve for the density of the object? (Note that the density given for copper should be in g/cm^3, not g/m^3.)
