O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/11/M/J/20
Question 11 from 5054/11/M/J/20

Explanation

Insufficient data to determine density numerically Steps:

  • Mass of three bolts: 3 × 3.4 g = 10.2 g.
  • Initial water volume: 30 cm³.
  • The reading "rises 42 cm," but units are ambiguous (height in cm vs. volume in cm³); no cross-sectional area given to convert height rise to volume.
  • Without volume of bolts, density = mass/volume cannot be calculated. Why D is correct:
  • Not applicable; no option can be verified due to ambiguity. Why the others are wrong:
  • A: Assumes final volume 42 cm³ (rise 12 cm³), yielding ~0.85 g/cm³, but "rises 42 cm" ≠ 12 cm³.
  • B: No calculation matches 2.8 g/cm³.
  • C: No calculation matches 7.5 g/cm³. Final answer: Not enough information.
