A container is partially filled with water. A scale on the wall indicates that the volume of
water is 312 cm
3
. The weight of water and container is 568 gram. Some sand is carefully
poured into the water. The water level in the container rises to a level that it contains 400
cm
3 of material (sand and water). The weight of the container now is 800 gram. Determine
the density of the particle material, in kg/m
3
. Some measurements showed that 60 cm
3 of
water was still above the sand level. Determine the density of sand placement in the
container, in kg/m
3
. Weight of the container was found to be 245 grams.
