Question

Calculate the density of a 800g rectangular block with the following dimensions: length=8 cm, width=6 cm, height=5 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.33 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The equation for density(d) is d= mass(m) / volume(v)

We are given the mass but not the volume. However, the equation for volume is v = length x width x height. Therefore, all we have to do is plug in the given numbers.

v = 8 x 6 x 5 = 240 cm^3

d = 800 / 240 = 3.33 g/cm^3

Therefore, the density of this rectangular block is 3.33 grams per centimeter cubed (g/cm^3).
