A student is trying to determine the density of a small stone. Fig. 2.1 shows a measuring cylinder containing water, resting on a balance. The stone is then placed in the water, as shown in Fig. 2.2.
(a)[2]
The student measures the mass of the stone and its volume. Using labels K, L, M and N from Fig. 2.1 and Fig. 2.2, show how the mass and volume of the stone are calculated. mass of stone = reading ............ minus reading ............ volume of stone = reading ............ minus reading ............
(b)[3]
Calculate the density of the stone. Include the unit as well.
