Question

Which statement is correct?

Block A has the greatest density.
Block B has the greatest density.
The density of Block A is equal to the density of Block B.
The density of Block B is equal to the density of Block C.

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure is the block B

Answer 2

Answer: Block A has the greatest density.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

`Density=(mass)/(Volume)`

To calculate the volume of cuboid, we use the equation:

`V=lbh`

where,

V = volume of cuboid

l = length of cuboid

b = breadth of cuboid

h = height of cuboid

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a) Block A:

mass = 3 kg

Volume =
`2cm* 4cm* 6cm=48cm^3`

`Density=(3kg)/(48cm^3)=0.0625kg/cm^3`

b) Block B:

mass = 1 kg

Volume =
`2cm* 4cm* 6cm=48cm^3`

`Density=(1kg)/(48cm^3)=0.02kg/cm^3`

c) Block C:

mass = 2 kg

Volume =
`2cm* 4cm* 6cm=48cm^3`

`Density=(2kg)/(48cm^3)=0.04kg/cm^3`

Thus Block A has greatest density.
