Question 26

An upright cylinder containing liquid is placed on a digital balance that displays the mass in kilograms. The parameters of the cylinder and liquid are given below:

  • Radius of cylinder: 4.5 cm4.5\text{ cm}4.5 cm
  • Weight of empty cylinder: 1.96 N1.96\text{ N}1.96 N
  • Depth of liquid: 14.0 cm14.0\text{ cm}14.0 cm
  • Density of liquid: 880 kg/m3880\text{ kg/m}^3880 kg/m3

Calculate the reading shown on the balance. Take the acceleration of free fall g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\text{ m/s}^2g=9.8 m/s2.
