Question

If the mass of a material is 49 grams and the volume of the material is 12 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?

Answer 1

Answer : Density = 4.08 cm³

Explanation :

It is given that,

The mass of the material, m = 49 grams

Volume of the material, V = 12 cm³

The mass per unit volume of any material defines the density of the material. Mathematically, it is defined as :

`\rho=(m)/(V)`

`\rho=(49\ g)/(12\ cm^3)`

`\rho=4.08\ gram/cm^3`

So, the density of the material is 4.08 cm³.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2

Answer: The density of the material given is
`4.08g/cm^3`

Explanation: Density of an object is defined as the ratio of mass (in grams) and Volume (in Mili-liters) of that object.

Mathematically,

`Density=(Mass)/(Volume)`

We are given,

Mass of the object = 48 grams

Volume of the object =
`12cm^3` (Conversion Factor:
`1mL=1cm^3` )

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`Density=(49g)/(12cm^3)=4.08g/cm^3`
