Density and pressure — practice question

An empty glass beaker has a mass of $103\ \text{g}$. If it is filled with water, its overall mass becomes $361\ \text{g}$. If it is filled with cooking oil, its overall mass becomes $351\ \text{g}$. The density of water is $1.00\ \text{g cm}^{-3}$. What is the density of the cooking oil?

  • A$0.961\ \text{g cm}^{-3}$
  • B$0.972\ \text{g cm}^{-3}$
  • C$1.03\ \text{g cm}^{-3}$
  • D$1.04\ \text{g cm}^{-3}$
