Question 5

An engineer wishes to determine the density of an irregularly shaped metal component. First, the component is placed on an electronic balance to obtain a reading. Next, the component is completely submerged in a graduated cylinder filled with a known volume of oil, and a second reading is taken.

Which combination of values from these instruments should be used to calculate the density of the component?

A

Value from graduated cylinder: increase in liquid level (volume); Value from electronic balance: mass

B

Value from graduated cylinder: increase in liquid level (volume); Value from electronic balance: weight

C

Value from graduated cylinder: final liquid level reading; Value from electronic balance: mass

D

Value from graduated cylinder: final liquid level reading; Value from electronic balance: weight
