Answer:

2.4g

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the axle was cut 5mm shorter, the volume would be reduced to 280.7mm3. What would be the new mass of the axle?

Assumptions will be that the axle is a brass and the density is

density is 0.00855g/mm^3

we know that density is ratio of mass of a substance per unit volume

mass is the quantity of matter in a body, it is measured in grams or kilograms. so

density=mass/volume

0.00855=mass/280.7

mass=0.00855*280.7

mass=2.399g

approximately=2.4g
