Question

This piece of pine wood has a

mass of 3.84 kg. If pine has a
density of 0.77 g/cm3, how much volume would this piece of lumber take up?

Answer 1

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. To calculate the volume of the piece of pine wood, you can rearrange the formula for density to solve for volume: Volume = Mass / Density.

First, we need to convert the mass of the wood from kilograms to grams: 3.84 kg * 1000 g/kg = 3840 g.

Now we can use the given values for mass and density to calculate the volume:

Volume = Mass / Density = 3840 g / 0.77 g/cm3 ≈ 4987 cm3

The piece of pine wood would take up a volume of approximately 4987 cubic centimeters (cm3).
