In order to calculate the density, first let's calculate the mass of the sample, using the formula for the weight force:


\begin{gathered} F_W=m\cdot g\\ \\ 48=m\cdot10\\ \\ m=(48)/(10)\\ \\ m=4.8\text{ kg} \end{gathered}

Now, to find the density, we divide the mass by the volume:


\begin{gathered} d=(m)/(V)\\ \\ d=(4.8)/(0.0008)\\ \\ d=6000\text{ kg/m^^b3} \end{gathered}

Therefore the correct option is h.
