Compute the density g/cm3 of a piece of metal that has a mass of 0.585 kg and a volume of 80 cubic cm
585 g / 80 cm^3
585g
To compute the density in g/cm3, you'll need to divide the mass of the metal by its volume. Here's how you can do it:
1. Convert the mass of the metal from kilograms to grams:
- Mass in grams = Mass in kilograms × 1000
In this case:
- Mass in grams = 0.585 kg × 1000 = 585 grams
2. Divide the mass in grams by the volume in cubic centimeters:
- Density = Mass / Volume
In this case:
- Density = 585 g / 80 cm3
3. Calculate the density:
- Density = 7.31 g/cm3
Therefore, the density of the metal is 7.31 g/cm3.
