Answer:

8 g/ cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

Mass = 400 g

Volume = 50 cm³

Density = ?

Solution:

d = m/v

d = 400 g/ 50 cm³

d = 8 g/ cm³
