Question

In science class, a student is given a copper cylinder to investigate. The student measures the mass of the cylinder as 53.76 grams. The

student measures the volume of the copper as 6 cm. Which additional property of the copper can the student determine from these
measurements?

Answer 1

From these two values, i.e. mass and volume, density of the copper cylinder can be calculated.

Formula of density is :

Density = Mass / volume.

Now we have mass: 53.76g and volume 6cm³

Density = 53.76 / 6

Density= 8.96 g/cm³
