Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/ cm3. What volume is occupied by a block of aluminum which weighs 4.32 kg?
To find the volume occupied by a block of aluminum, we need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Rearranging the formula, we have:
Volume = Mass / Density
Given that the weight of the block is 4.32 kg (4320 g) and the density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm^3, we can calculate the volume as follows:
Volume = 4320 g / 2.70 g/cm^3
Simplifying, we get:
Volume ≈ 1600 cm^3
Therefore, the block of aluminum occupies approximately 1600 cm^3 of volume.
