886.6kgm^-3886.6kgm3

Explanation:

Let VV be the volume of the given cylinder.
Let dd be density of turpentine.

When the cylinder is weighed in air forces acting on the cylinder="Weight"darr+"Buoyant force equal to weight of air displaced by it"uarr=Weight+Buoyant force equal to weight of air displaced by it
As density of air very small, so is weight of air displaced by the cylinder.
:."Weight"darr=67g ......(1)

We also know that weight of cylinder ="Volume"xx"Density"xxg_r
Where g_r is acceleration due to gravity and is 9.81ms^-2.
:. weight of cylinder =Vxx2700xxg_r .....(2)

Converting in kg and equating (1) and (2) we obtain volume of the cylinder
67xx10^-3=Vxx2700xxg_r
=>V=(67xx10^-3)/(2700xx9.81)m^3 .........(3)

When the cylinder is weighed in turpentine forces acting on the cylinder="Weight"darr+ "Bouyant force equal to weight of turpentine displaced by it"uarr
Since density of solid aluminum is much higher than that of turpentine, it is assumed that complete cylinder is immersed in turpentine.
"Measured weight"="Weight"darr+ "Buoyant force equal to weight of turpentine displaced by it"uarr

45xx10^-3=67xx10^-3-Vxxd xxg_r
=>45xx10^-3=67xx10^-3-(67xx10^-3)/2700xxd
Dividing both sides by 10^-3 and rearranging we get
67/2700xxd =22
=>d =22xx2700/67
=>d =886.6kgm^-3

Given
"The density of Al " d_(Al)=2700kgm^-3

=2700*10^3*10^-6gcm^-3=2.7gmcm^-3

"The mass of Al Cylinder " m_(Al)=67gm

"The volume of Al Cylinder " v_(Al)=m_(Al)/d_(Al)=67/2.7cm^3

  • The apparent Weight of the cylnder in turpentine is =45" gwt"

  • So the apparent loss in weght of the cylinder when immersed fully in turpentine=(67-45)=22" gwt"

  • Let density of turpentine be =d_t gcm^-3

  • So the volume of turpentine displaced by cylinder=67/2.7cm^3

  • So the weight of turpentine displaced by cylinder=67/2.7*d_t" gwt"

  • This weight must be equal to the apparent loss in weight

  • Hence

67/2.7*d_t=22

=>d_t=(22xx2.7)/67gcm^-3~~0.886gcm^-3
=0.886xx10^-3xx10^6kgm^-3=866kgm^-3
