A lead cylinder has a mass of 540 grams and a density of 2.70g/ml calculate the volume of the cylinder

mart [117]

The relation between density , mass and volume is given by :

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

We are given:

Mass= 540 grams

Density = 2.70 g/ml

So plugging the values in the formula to find volume:

$2.70 = \frac{540}{volume}$

$Volume = \frac{540}{2.70}$

Volume =200 liters.

Answer : Volume of the lead cylinder is 200 liters.
