Question

What error, if any, would the calculated density of the solid have if the material had a hollow center?

Answer 1

Answer:

3) The calculated density would be high, because the volume would be incorrectly measured low.

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It means the density is inversely proportional to the volume.

A solid with a hollow center will have high volume due to air inside the hollow area that will lead to low density.

But the error in the calculation of density is that the "density would be high, because the volume would be incorrectly measured low."

Hence, the correct answer is "3)"
