Question

A metal has the mass of 53.7 grams and displaces 6.2 no of water. Determine the density of the metal.

Answer 1

`8661.290323 Kg/m^(3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that density is given by
`\frac {mass}{volume}`

Since we are not given the units for water displaced, we assume it's ml and converting 6.2 ml to cubic meters we divide by a million hence it's 0.0000062 cubic meters

The mass is also converted into Kg by dividing by 1000 hence we obtain 0.0537 Kg

`Density=\frac {0.0537}{0.0000062}=8661.290323 Kg/m^(3)`
