Question

The piece of iron that miguel measured had a mass of 51.1 g and a volume of 6.63 cm 3 . what did miguel calculate to be the density of iron?

Answer 1

Given:
Mass, m = 51.1 g
Volume, V = 6.63 cm³

By definition,
Density = Mass/Volume
= (51.1 g)/(6.63 cm³)
= 7.7074 g/cm³

In SI units,
Density = (7.7074 g/cm³)*(10⁻³ kg/g)*(10² cm/m)³
= 7707.4 kg/m³

Answer: 7.707 g/cm³ or 7707.4 kg/m³
