Daniel wants to determine the density of steel. He measured the mass of ten
steel marbles. He measured the volume of the ten marbles by placing them
in a measuring cylinder filled with 50cm3 of water.

His findings are listed below:

 Mass of ten steel marbles = 336g
 Initial volume of water in measuring cylinder = 50cm3
 Final volume of water in measuring cylinder = 92cm3

e) Calculate the relative density of steel, assuming that the density of water is
1000kgm-3

f) If 325g of mercury of density 13.6gcm-3 occupies a certain space, determine

the volume of the space.

g) Calculate the density of gasoline which occupies 150cm3 of space and has a
mass of 102g.
