Question

oakwood has a mass of 2.85 kilograms and a volume of 4100 cubic centimeters. determine the density of oak in grams per cubic centimeter.

Answer 1

The density of oak is 0.695 grams per cubic centimeter.

Explanation:

Given:

Oakwood has a mass of 2.85 kilograms and a volume of 4100 cubic centimeters.

Now, to find the density of oak in grams per cubic centimeter.

Mass (m) = 2.85 kilograms.

So, using conversion factor we convert into grams:

`2.85* 1000=2850\ grams.`

Volume (v) = 4100 cubic centimeters.

Now, to get the density by using formula:

`Density=(mass)/(volume) \\Density=(m)/(v)`

`Density=(2850)/(4100)`

`Density=0.695\ grams\ per\ cubic\ centimeter.`

Therefore, the density of oak is 0.695 in grams per cubic centimeter.
