Question

Denzel wants to work out the density of a block of wood the block of wood is in the shape of the cuboid

Answer 1

`Density = 1.094g/cm^3`

Explanation:

Given

`Length = 17.7cm`

`Width = 8.3cm`

`Height = 13.0cm`

`Mass = 2090g`

Determine the density of the wood

First, we calculate the volume of the wood.

`Volume = Length * Width * Height`

Substitute values for Length, Width and Height

`Volume = 17.7cm * 8.3cm * 13.0cm`

`Volume = 1909.83cm^3`

The density is:

`Density = (Mass)/(Volume)`

`Density = (2090g)/(1909.83cm^3)`

`Density = 1.094g/cm^3` --- approximated
