QuestionA small bottle weighs 20 gm when empty and 22 gm when filled with water. When it is filled with oil it weighs 21.76 gm . Then the density of the oil is (A) $0.88 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ (B) $8.8 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ (C) $6.8 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ (D) $88.8 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$

Studdy Solution
Calculate the density of the oil.
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. Thus, the density of the oil is:
$$\text{Density of oil} = \frac{\text{Weight of oil}}{\text{Volume of bottle}} = \frac{1.76 \, \text{gm}}{2 \, \text{cm}^3} = 0.88 \, \text{g/cm}^3$$
The density of the oil is:
$\boxed{0.88 \, \text{g/cm}^3}$
