Question

A solid cylinder has a diameter of 17.4 mm and a length of 50.3mm. It's mass is 49g . What is its density of the cylinder in metric tonnes per cubic metre? Give your answer to 1 significant figure.​

Answer 1

4 tonne/m³

Step-by-step explanation:

ρ = m / V

ρ = 49 g / (π (17.4 mm / 2)² (50.3 mm))

ρ = 0.0041 g/mm³

Converting to tonnes/m³:

ρ = 0.0041 g/mm³ (1 kg / 1000 g) (1 tonne / 1000 kg) (1000 mm / m)³

ρ = 4.1 tonne/m³

Rounding to one significant figure, the density is 4 tonne/m³.
