Question

A rectangular solid of unknown density is 5 meters long, 2 meters high and 4 meters wide. The mass of this solid is 300 grams. Given this information for this homogeneous (alike throughout) material, calculate its density.

Answer 1

The density of the material is 7.5 g/m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangle is:

Volume = Length*Height*Width

Replacing with data:

Volume = 5 m * 2 m * 4 m = 40 m^3

Density is computed as follows:

Density = Mass/Volume

Replacing with data:

Density = 300 g/40 m^3

Density = 7.5 g/m^3
