Question

A lead sinker has a volume of 20 cm^3 and a mass of 660 g. What is the density of the lead?

A. 33 g/cm^3
B. 13,200 g/cm^3
C. 3.3 g/cm^3
D. 1320 g/cm^3

Answer 1

The density of the lead is 33 g/cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance is calculated by dividing its mass by its volume. In this case, the lead sinker has a volume of 20 cm³ and a mass of 660 g. So, the density of the lead is calculated as:

Density = Mass / Volume

Substituting the given values:

Density = 660 g / 20 cm³ = 33 g/cm³

Therefore, the density of the lead is 33 g/cm³.
