Question

A substance has a mass of 15,000 kg and a volume of 30 m 3 . What is the density of thesubstance?

Answer 1

500 kg/m³

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

• The mass of the substance, m = 15,000 kg

,

• The volume of the substance, V = 30 m³

Find:

• The density of the substance, ρ

The density of a substance of mass m and volume V is,

`\rho=(m)/(V)`

Substitute the known values and solve,

`\rho=(15,000kg)/(30m^3)=500kg/m^3`

Hence, the density of the substance is 500 kg/m³.
