Answer:

d = 3.11 g /cm³

Explanation:

Volume -

The volume of a cuboidal object can be calculated by multiplying the length , width and height ,

Hence , Volume ( V ) = l * w * h ,

From the question ,

l = 8.2 cm

w = 3.8 cm

h = 7 cm

Hence, the volume is ,

V = l * w * h

V = 8.2 cm * 3.8 cm * 7 cm

V = 218.12 cm³

Density -

Density of a substance is given as the mass divided by the volume ,

Hence,

d = m / V

From the question,

m = 0.68 kg

since ,

1 kg = 1000g

m = 0.68 * 1000 = 680 g

V = 218.12 cm³ ( calculated above )

Hence , the value of density can be calculated by using the above equation,

d = m / V

d = 680 g / 218.12 cm³

d = 3.11 g /cm³
