Question

You are given an irregular shape made out of lead and are unable to

calculate its volume. Since you know the density of lead and are able to
weigh the object to calculate its mass, you can use math to calculate the
object's volume. If the object has 28 grams of mass, what is the object's
volume in cubic centimeters?

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of the irregularly shaped object made of lead, we can use the formula:

Volume = Mass / Density

Given that the mass of the object is 28 grams, and the density of lead is approximately 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), we can now calculate the volume in cubic centimeters (cm³):

Volume = 28 grams / 11.34 g/cm³ ≈ 2.47 cm³

So, the volume of the irregularly shaped lead object is approximately 2.47 cubic centimeters.
