Question

A cube of metal weighs 1450 g and displaces 542 mL of water when immersed. How do you calculate the density of the metal?

Answer 1

Approx. `2.7*g*mL^-1`...........

Explanation:

`rho, "density"="Mass"/"Volume"`, by definition.

And thus we simply take the quotient: `(1450*g)/(542*mL)=??*g*mL^-1`
