We are asked to determine the density of the cork. To do that we will use the following formula:
[tex]D=\frac{m}{V}[/tex]Where:
[tex]\begin{gathered} D=\text{ density} \\ m=\text{ mass} \\ V=\text{ volume} \end{gathered}[/tex]The volume of the cork is the same as the volume that it displaced of water, therefore, we have:
[tex]V=23.5ml[/tex]Now, we substitute the values and we get:
[tex]D=\frac{5.7g}{23.5ml}[/tex]Solving the operations:
[tex]D=0.24\frac{g}{ml}[/tex]Therefore, the density of the cork is 0.24 g/ml.
