I have no idea how to do the following question.

A chemist mixes two liquids A and B to form a homogeneous mixture. The densities of the liquids are 2.0514 g/mL for A and 2.6678 g/mL for B. When she drops a small object into the mixture, she finds that the object becomes suspended in the liquid; that is, it neither sinks nor floats. If the mixture is made of 41.37 percent A and 58.63 percent B by volume, what is the density of the metal? Can this procedure be used in general to determine the densities of solids? What assumptions must be made in applying this method?

I forgot the actual formula applicable here. Please consult any book or chapter on Geneal Properties Of Matter. It is not so tough. You know the densities and percentage of the liquid. I seems not very difficult. When you get the answer please mail me at soumyadipray007@gmail.com
Thanks
