Answer: The percent increase in the mass of cylinder of beetroot is 8%.
Explanation:
To calculate the percent increase in the mass of cylinder, we use the equation:
[tex]\%\text{ increase in mass}=\frac{\text{Final mass - Initial mass}}{\text{Initial mass}}\times 100[/tex]
We are given:
Final mass of the cylinder = 2.7 g
Initial mass of the cylinder = 2.5 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\%\text{ increase in mass}=\frac{2.7-2.5}{2.5}\times 100\\\\\%\text{ increase in mass}=8\%[/tex]
Hence, the percent increase in the mass of cylinder of beetroot is 8%.
