Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = (mass)/(volume) \\$

From the question

mass = 10 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 52.1 - 50.7 = 1.4 mL

We have

$density = (10)/(1.4) \\ = 7.142857...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
