Question

Write a formula showing the dependence of the mass of a piece of cork on its volume, if the density of cork is 0.18g/cm3. Using the formula, find the volume of a piece of cork with a mass of 64.8g

Answer 1

We have: 64.8/0.18 = 360
If 0.18g=1cm3 Then 64.8g=360cm3

Answer 2

Answer: The volume of cork will be  $360cm^3$

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

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

Given : Mass of cork = 64.8 grams

Density of cork = $0.18g/cm^3$

Putting in the values we get:

$0.18g/cm^3=\frac{64.8g}{Volume}$

volume of cork = $360cm^3$

Thus the volume of cork is $360cm^3$
