The density of the given ball is 0.808. Density is an intrinsic property of an object.

How to calculate density?

The density of a ball can be calculated by diving its mass by its volume. It can written as,


\rho = \frac mV

Where,


\rho - density


m - mass = 404.2 g


V - volume = 500.0 cm³

Put the values in the formula,


\rho = (404.2)/( 500.0)\\\\\rho = 0.8084 \rm \ g/m^3

Therefore, the density of the given ball is 0.808.
