Question

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 40.0 mm in height and 53.5 mm in diameter. What is the density of the material?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.15*10^-5 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Given data

mass= 1kg

hieght= 40 mm

diameter= 52.5mm

radius= 53.5/2= 26.25mm

The volume of the cylinder

V=πr^2h

V=3.142*26.25^2*40

V=3.142*689.0625*40

V=86601.375 mm^3

Density= mass/volume

Density= 1/86601.375

Density=0.00001154716

Density= 1.15*10^-5 kg/m^3

Hence the density is  1.15*10^-5 kg/m^3
