Question
Tiger, one of my cats weighs 16.75 lb
Tiger, one of my cats weighs 16.75 lbs. He is part Maine Coon, which is one of the largest breeds of domesticated cats. I put Tiger into a bathtub containing 25.0 gallons of water when filled to the very top. After I put him in, I collected all the water that ran over the side of the tub, and found it to be equal to 0.985 gallons.
(A) What is the density of Tiger in grams per cubic centimeter?
(B) The last time I did this, Tiger weighed quite a bit less at 14.20 lbs. At that time, he displaced a volume of 0.775 gallons. Did Tiger's density change? Explain and prove your answer.
s. He is part Maine Coon, which is one of the largest breeds of domesticated cats. I put Tiger into a bathtub containing 25.0 gallons of water when filled to the very top. After I put him in, I collected all the water that ran over the side of the tub, and found it to be equal to 0.985 gallons.
Explanation / Answer
Density = mass / volume
Here mass = 16.75 lbs = 7597.6722 grams
Volume of cat which is equal to the water of out side= 0.985 gallons= 3.7286306 L
1000 ml = 1.0L
3.7286306 L = 3728.6306 mL
1.0 ml = 1.0 cm^3
3728.6306 mL= 3728.6306 cm^3
Density = mass/ volume
= 7597.6722 grams/3728.6306 cm^3=
=2.04 g/cm^3
(B) The last time I did this, Tiger weighed quite a bit less at 14.20 lbs. At that time, he displaced a volume of 0.775 gallons. Did Tiger's density change? Explain and prove your answer.

Density = mass / volume
Here mass = 14.20 lbs = 6441.012 g
Volume of cat which is equal to the water of out side= 0.775 gallons= 2.9336941 L
1000 ml = 1.0L
2.9336941L = 2933.6941mL
1.0 ml = 1.0 cm^3
2933.6941mL= 2933.6941cm^3
Density = mass/ volume
= 6441.012 grams/2933.6941cm^3=
=2.20 g/cm^3
Yes Tiger's density changed .
