A ball of wax is lowered carefully into a completely full beaker of water, where it floats. This causes 18 cm3 of water to spill out. The same ball of wax is then lowered carefully into a completely full beaker of ethyl alcohol (D 0.79 g/cm3), where it sinks, causing 20 cm3 of alcohol to spill out. Which of these two experiments allows you to find the wax’s mass, and which allows you to find its volume? Find the density of the wax.
