Density of an object is computed by dividing its mass by its volume. D = M / V
Solution:
D = 500 g / 2.75 cm3
D = 181.82 g/cm3
Further, density of an object is computed by dividing its mass by its volume. D = M / V
However, since Volume is the missing component in the equation. Mass of an object is divided by its density to get its volume. V = M / D
Volume of Gold nugget = 50 g / 19.3g/cm3 = 2.59cm3
Volume of Iron Pyrite nugget = 50 g / 5.0g/cm3 = 10cm3
