Question

What is the density of the paint if the mass of a tin containing 5000 cm3 paint is 7 kg. If the mass of the empty tin, including the lid is 0.5 kg.​

Answer 1

We are given:

Mass of the Paint bucket (with paint) = 7000 grams

Mass of the paint bucket (without paint) = 500 grams

Volume of Paint in the Bucket = 5000 cm³

Mass of Paint in the Bucket:

To get the mass of the paint in the bucket, we will subtract the mass of the bucket from the mass of the paint bucket (with paint)

Mass of Paint = Mass of Paint bucket (with paint) - Mass of the paint Bucket (without paint)

Mass of Paint = 7000 - 500

Mass of Paint = 6500 grams

Density of the Paint:

We know that density = Mass / Volume

Density of Paint = Mass of Paint / Volume occupied by Paint

Density of Paint = 6500/5000

Density of Paint = 1.3 grams / cm³
