The mass = 65.79 g

Further explanation

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume

With the same mass, the volume of objects that have a high density will be smaller than objects with a smaller type of density

The unit of density can be expressed in g/cm³ or kg/m³

Density formula:


\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

ρ = density

m = mass

v = volume

To find its mass, we can search the density of tin on the web

the density of tin : 7.31 g/cc

cc=ml=cm³

So the mass :


\tt mass=\rho* V\\\\mass=7.31* 9\\\\mass=65.79~g
