Question

Write a formula showing the dependence of the mass of a piece of cork on its volume, if the density of cork is 0.18g/cm3. Using the formula, find the volume of a piece of cork with a mass of 64.8g

Answer 1

We have: 64.8/0.18 = 360
If 0.18g=1cm3 Then 64.8g=360cm3

Answer 2

Answer: The volume of cork will be
`360cm^3`

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

`Density=(mass)/(Volume)`

Given : Mass of cork = 64.8 grams

Density of cork =
`0.18g/cm^3`

Putting in the values we get:

`0.18g/cm^3=(64.8g)/(Volume)`

volume of cork =
`360cm^3`

Thus the volume of cork is
`360cm^3`
