Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 23EAP
You need to determine the density of a ceramic statue. If you suspend it from a spring scale, the scale reads 28.4 N. If you then lower the statue into a tub of water, so that it is completely submerged, the scale reads 17.0 N. What is the statue's density?
