Question

On average, the density of human blood is 1.06 g/cm³. What is the value of density of human blood, when reported in SI units?

a. 1.06 x 10³ kg/m³
b. 1.06 x 106 kg/m³
c. 1.06 x 10-6 kg/m³
d. 1.06 x 100 kg/m³
e. 1.06 x 10⁻³ kg/m³

Answer 1

The density of human blood in SI units is 1.06 x 10³ kg/m³ (option a), after converting the given 1.06 g/cm³ using the conversion 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of human blood is given as 1.06 g/cm³, which needs to be converted into SI units. The SI unit for density is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³). Since 1 g/cm³ is equal to 1000 kg/m³, we can convert the given density of blood from g/cm³ to kg/m³ by multiplying by 1000. Thus, the average density of human blood in SI units is 1.06 x 10³ kg/m³, corresponding to option a.
