A sand core used to form the internal surfaces of a aluminum alloy casting experiences a buoyancy force of 25 kg. The volume of the mold cavity forming the outside surface of the casting = 4500 cm3. What is the weight of the final casting? Given that Sand density = 1.6 g/cm3, Al casting density ρ = 2.7 g/cm3
