Question

An object is a regular, rectangular, solid with dimensions of 2 cm by 3cm by 2cm. It has a mass of 24 g. Find its density

Answer 1

2 g/cm³

Explanation:

The volume is not given, so find that first:

2 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm = 12 cubic cm = V

Mass is given: m = 24 g

Using the density formula, solve:

d = m/V

d = 24 g/12 cubic cm

d = 2 g/cubic cm
