Answer:

Mass of each weight = 56.7 gram per piece

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lead’s density = 11.34 g/mL

Number of weights = 50

Volume of box = 250 mL

Find:

Mass of each weight

Computation:

Mass = volume x density

Mass = 250 x 11.34

Mass = 2,835 gram

Mass of each weight = Total Mass / Number of weights

Mass of each weight = 2,835 / 50

Mass of each weight = 56.7 gram per piece
