A cylinder has 500 cm^3 of water. after a mass of 100 grams of sand is poured into the cylinder and all air bubbles are removed by a vacuum pump, the water level rises to 537.5 cm^3. Determine the specific gravity of the sand?

Answer 1

What is 100grams/35.5ml?

then divide that by the density of water, 1 gram/cm^3 to get specific gravity.

Answer 2
