Some sand is poured into a two liter bottle and the cap is screwed on. Then the bottle is placed in the water and it floats with 44 % of the bottle underwater. If the empty mass of the bottle/cap is 42 g, find the mass of the sand that was added. Recall: 1000 L = 1 m and density of water = 1000 kg/m3.

Bird bones have air pockets to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g ad its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (assume the bone is watertight.)(a) What mass of is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?
