In an experiment to determine the density of sand using a density bottle, the following measurements were recorded:
Mass of empty density bottle = 43.2g
Mass of density bottle full of water = 66.4g
Mass of density bottle with some sand = 67.5g
Mass of density bottle with the sand filled up with water = 82.3g
Use the above data to determine the;
a) Mass of the water that completely filled the bottle.
b) Volume of water that completely filled with the bottle.
c) Volume of the density bottle;
d) Mass of sand
e) Mass of water that filled the space above the sand.
f) Volume of the sand
g) Density of the sand
