Situational Problem A student performs an experiment to determine the density of an unknown metal cylinder, density of cork, and the specific gravity of kerosene. The student weighs the metal cylinder in air and records it to be 0.98 N When the cylinder is completely submerged in water it weighs 0.823 N and weighs 0.854 N when completely submerged in kerosene. What is the density of the unknown metal cylinder in kilograms per cubic meters? Your answer Compute the experimental value of the specific gravity of kerosene Your answer
