Question

Calculate the density of a bar of gold with a length of 10 cm, a width of 9 cm, a height of 6 cm, and a mass of 873 g.. A.) 1.62 g/cm3. B.) 540 g/cm3. C.) 540 cm3

Answer 1

Volume of a bar:
V = 10 · 9 ·· 6 = 540 cm³
The density:
m / V = 873 g / 540 cm³ = 1.6167 g/cm³ ≈ 1.62 g/cm³
Answer: A ) 1.62 g/cm³
