Question

What is the density, in grams/cubic inch, of a substance with a mass of 6 grams filling a rectangular box with dimensions 2 in x 6 in x 3 in?6 8 0.11 0.17

Answer 1

Consider tha the density is calculated by using the following formula:

`D=(M)/(V)`

D is the density, M is the mass and V the volume. In this case, you have;

M = 6 g

V = 2 in x 6 in x 3 in = 36 in^3

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the formula for D:

`D=(6g)/(36in^3)\approx0.17(g)/(in^3)`

Hence, the density of the given substance is approximately 0.17 g/in^3
