A measuring cylinder contains 20cm^3 of water. When ten identical highlight%28cross%28stell%29%29 steel balls are immersed in water the water level
rises to 50cm^3. If one ball has mass of 27g, what is the density of highlight%28cross%28stell%29%29 steel in g cm^-3?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The volume of one ball (of each of the ten identical balls) is  %2850-20%29%2F10 = 3 cubic centimeters.


Hence, the steel density is  27%2F3 = 9 gram per cubic centimeter.

Solved.

A measuring cylinder contains 20cm^3 of water. When ten identical stell steel balls are immsersed IMMERSED in water the water level rises to 50cm^3. If one ball has mass of 27g, what is the density of stell STEEL in g cm^-3?
--------

10 balls, 30 cm^3

3 cm^3 per ball

If 1 ball is 27 grams then density is 27%2F3=highlight%289%29 grams per cm^3.
