what is the likely identity of a metal if a sample has a mass of 63.5kg when submerged in air and an apparent mass of 55.4kg when submerged in water?
Answered by R_scott
the metal displaces 63.5 - 55.4 liters of water
... the volume is 8.1 liters

the density is ... 63.5 kg / 8.1 L = 7.8 g/cm^3

probably steel
