Question

A block of aluminium of density 7900 kg/m3 has a volume of 250 cm. Find the
mass of the block.​

Answer 1

mass of block=2.7 gm

Explanation:

concept: Density=mass/volume

given:ρ=2700 kg/m^3 and v=250 cm^3 (in cm^3 not in m^3)

=> v= convert cm^3 to m^3

there fore= 1 cm^3=1 cm*1 cm*1 cm

i.e 1 cm^3=1/100*1/00*1/100 m^3 => 1 cm^3=1/1000000 m^3

ρ=m/v

=>mass=ρ*volume

=>mass=2700*1/10^-6

=>mass=2.7*10^-3 kg =>2.7 gm
