Question

You make the following measurements of an object – 22 kg and 42 m3. What would the object’s density be? Show your work for credit and include final units.

Answer 1

Density = mass / volume
therefore, density = 22/42 = 0.524 kg/m3

Answer 2

Answer: $0.52kgm^{-3}$

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

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

We are given : Mass of an object = 22 kg

Volume of an object = $42m^3$

Putting in the values in the formula for density:

$Density=\frac{22kg}{42m^3}=0.52kgm^{-3}$

Thus the mass has density of $0.52kgm^{-3}$ in S.I units.
