Question

A block of metal has a volume of 14.0in3 and weighs 5.26lb .

Answer 1

Mass of block, m = 5.26 lb  
1 lb = 453.592 g
 5.26 lb = 2385.896 g
V = 14 in3
 1 in = 2.5 cm
 1 in3 = 15.625 cm3
 14 in3 = 218.75 cm3


Density = mass/volume
 = 2358.896 / 218.75
 = 10.783 g/cm3

Answer 2

Answer : The density of metal is $10.399g/cm^3$

Explanation :

Density : It is defined as the mass of a substance contained per unit volume.

Formula used :

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

Given:

Mass of metal = 5.26 lb = 2385.896 g

conversion used : (1 lb = 453.592 g)

Volume of metal = $14.0inch^3=229.419cm^3$

conversion used : $(1inch^3=16.3871cm^3)$

By using formula, we get:

$Density=\frac{2385.896g}{229.419cm^3}$

$Density=10.399g/cm^3$

Thus, the density of metal is $10.399g/cm^3$
