Question

A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, what is the density of the copper?

Answer 1

We need the quotient...`rho_"density"="Mass"/"Volume"`

Explanation:

And thus on the given sample...we calculate...

`rho_"copper"=underbrace(1896*g)_"mass of block"/underbrace(8.4*cmxx5.5*cmxx4.6*cm)_"volume of block"=(1896*g)/(212.5*cm^3)`

`-=8.9*g*cm^-3`...
