Question

Find the density of a soda can with a radius of 3.25 cm, a height of 122 cm, and a mass of 40 g.

Answer 1

density =
`9.88*10^(-3)` g/cm^3

Explanation:

Step 1: Volume of soda can

`volume = \pi r ^(2) h`

=>
`\pi 3.25^(2)*122`

volume = 4048.3
`cm^(3)`

Step 2: Using answer from step 1 to calculate density

`density=(mass)/(volume)`

density =
`(40)/(\pi 3.25^(2)*122 )`

density =
`9.88*10^(-3)` g/cm^3
