Answer:
Volume of sphere = 0.93 cm³ (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of sphere = 12.6 gram
Density of liquid mercury = 13.6 g/cm³
Find:
Volume of sphere = ?
Computation:
⇒ Density = Mass / Volume
⇒ Density of liquid mercury = Mass of sphere / Volume of sphere
⇒ 13.6 g/cm³ = 12.6 g / Volume of sphere
⇒ Volume of sphere = 12.6 / 13.6
⇒ Volume of sphere = 0.92647 cm³
⇒ Volume of sphere = 0.93 cm³ (Approx)
