Question 434643: while rummaging in his aunts attic, brad found a small figuring that be believed to be made out of silver. to test his guess, he looked up the density of silver in his chemistry book and found that it was 10.5 g/cm3. he found that the figure weight 149g. to determine its volume, he dropped it into a cylinder glass of water. if the diamtere of the glass was 6cm and the figurine was pure silver, by how much should the water level in the glass rise?

brad found a small figuring that be believed to be made out of silver.
to test his guess, he looked up the density of silver in his chemistry book and found that it was 10.5 g/cm3.
he found that the figure weight 149g. to determine its volume, he dropped it into a cylinder glass of water.
if the diameter of the glass was 6cm and the figurine was pure silver, by how
much should the water level in the glass rise?
:
Find the volume assuming it is silver
:
149%2F10.5 = 14.19 cu/cm
:
Using the vol of a cylinder V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah
radius = 3 cm
h = amt water should rise
pi%2A3%5E2%2Ah+=+14.19
28.27h = 14.19
h = 14.19%2F28.27
h = .5 cm
