Victor loves the movie "Titanic". After he gets his Moderna booster, he takes a Disney Cruise to Newfoundland (Canada) where the real Titanic sank, and is on the look out for cebergs. However, due to global warming all the ice he sees are roughly cubes, with each side having a length of 2 m. If ice has a density of 917 kg/m^3 and the ocean water near Newfoundland has a density of 1,010 kg/m³ (also due to global warming), how high will the op of the "icebergs" (ice cubes) be above the ocean surface for Victor to see?

A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock 89.0 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes' principle.)
Bird bones have air pockets to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g ad its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (assume the bone is watertight.)(a) What mass of is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?

A Hydrometer is an instrument used to determine liquid density. A simple one is sketched in Figure P9.84. The bulb of a syringe is squeezed and released to lift a sample of the liquid of interest into a tube containing a calibrated rod of known density. (Assume the rod is cylindrical.) The rod. of length L and average density 0, floats partially immersed in the liquid of density . A length h of the rod protrudes above the surface of the liquid. Show that the density of the liquid is given by =0LLh Figure P9.84
