Figure 1 shows a measuring cylinder containing some water, next to a solid zinc bolt.

Figure 1: A measuring cylinder filled with water to a level of 110 cm³, with a solid zinc bolt resting next to the cylinder.

The zinc bolt is lowered fully into the water.

The water level in the measuring cylinder rises to 185 cm3.

The density of zinc is 7.1 g/cm3.

Calculate the mass of the zinc bolt.

Use the equation:

density=massvolume \text{density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} density=volumemass​

Give your answer to 2 significant figures.
