A block of wood 3cm on each side has a mass of 54g what is the density of this block?

Question

(Hint! Don’t forget the volume! :] )

Answer 1

The formula used to determine density is density = mass / volume

so first you will need to determine the volume of the block which can be determined by the formula

volume = Length * Width * Height

and since the block is 3cm on each side its volume will be 27 cm cubed

so the density will be 54 g / 27 cm cubed

giving you an answer of 2 grams/cubic centimeter

(remember units are important)
