Question

. A copper sample in the form of a prism has the following dimensions: length, 1.25 m; width, 1.25 m; height, 2.15 m. If the density of copper is reported as 8.9 g/cm3, calculate, using dimensional analysis, the mass of the sample in kilograms.

Answer 1

3.0 x 104 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer;

= 29,898.4375 Kg

Explanation;

Volume of a prism is given by the formula;

V = base area × height

= 1.25 m × 1.25 m × 2.15 m

= 3.359375 m³

Density = 8.9 g/cm³

This is equivalent to ; 8900 kg/m³

Therefore;

Mass = Density × volume

= 8900 kg/m³ × 3.359375 m³

= 29,898.4375 Kg
