Question

A block of metal has a width of 32 cm, a length of 17.1 cm, and height of 38 cm. Its mass is 1.1kg. What is the density of the metal?

Answer 1

`"Density", rho` `=` `"Mass"/"Volume"`

Explanation:

And thus, `rho` `=` `(1.1*kgxx10^3*g*kg^-1)/((32xx17.1xx38)*cm^3)`

This gives the answer in `g*cm^-3` rather than `kg*cm^-3`.
