Question

A student has a rectangular block. It is 2 cm wide, 2 cm tall, and 25 cm long. It has a mass of 600 g. First, calculate the volume of the block. Then, use that answer to determine the density of the block. *

Answer 1

Answer:

6g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is the mass per unit volume of any substance. To solve this problem:

   

   Density  = $\frac{mass}{volume}$  

 Since mass = 600g

Let us find the volume;

    Volume  = length x width x height

   Volume  = 25cm x 2cm x 2cm  = 100cm³  

Therefore;

         Density  = $\frac{600}{100}$    = 6g/cm³
