. In determining the density of an unknown solid, it was immersed
In water. If a portion of the sample sticks out the water,
How will this effect the calculation of the density?

This is your third homework post. We do not do it for you. How is density determined? What is the density of water? Would a dense object displace more or less water than less dense object? Google" determining density of solids". Hint D=M/V

OK thanks. I wasn't asking you to do it for for me. You don't have to be a mean about it.

Actually, it does look like you're asking all of these to be answered for you. No place in any of the questions do you ask for help...you have simply posted the question as it is and left it at that. That looks like you are wanting someone to simply answer it for you. Site rules will not allow us to answer homework, only help. You need to show what you have done and have a specific area that you are asking about.

OK well my question isn't the answer. A formula or way to get the answer is what I'm looking for.
this the my first time on this site. I wasn't sure how these things work. I've never used a site like this before.
So sorry to trouble you all

My first post gave you the formula. D(density) =M(mass) /V(volume). Take the mass of the object and divide by the amount of water it displaces. Water is 1g per CC. Archimedes? Used this as a way to show a real gold crown from an alloy by the amount of water that was displaced.

On your second post, Remember that equal mass will displace different volumes based on the density. Equal volumes of a solid, e.g. 1 cm3 will displace the same volume of water.
