What is the density of the solid object that is weighed and submerged in water? The object's weight is 8.24g and is placed in a

beaker filled with 18.5 mL of water. When It is placed in the water, it rises to 23.1 mL.

Density (D) is calculated as mass (m) divided by volume (v).
D = m / v
The volume change is determined by measuring the water level before and after the object is introduced to the beaker,
v = 23.1 mL - 18.5 mL = 4.6 mL
Substituting into the density formula,
D = 8.24 g / 4.6 mL = 1.79 g/mL
Therefore, the density is roughly 1.79 g/mL.
