Answer:

The density of the wood is, 0.64
g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the density formula:


\text{density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{Volume}} .....[1]

As per the statement:

If the volume of a cube of wood is 15.625 cm3 and its mass is 10.00 grams.

⇒Volume = 15.625 cubic cm and mass = 10 gram

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;


\text{density} = (10)/(15.625)

Simplify:

density = 0.64
g/cm^3

Therefore, the density of the wood is, 0.64
g/cm^3

Answer:
density of wood = 0.64 gm/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:
Density of a substance can be calculated as follows:
density =

(mass)/(volume)

We are given that:
mass of wood = 10 grams
volume of wood = 15.625 cm
³

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the density as follows:
density =

(10)/(15.625) = 0.64 grams / cm³

Hope this helps :)
