Calculate the density

Question

A block of metal has a width of 3.2 , a length of 17.1 , and height of 4.7  . Its mass is 1.2  . Calculate the density of the metal.

Answer 1

Density is given as mass/volume

So, we need to know the mass and the volume and then we can calculate density.

mass = 1.2 g (I'll assume grams since you didn't say)

volume = 3.2 cm x 17.1 cm x 4.7 cm (I'll assume cm since you didn't say) = 257 cm³

Density = 1.2 g / 257 cm³ = 0.0047 g/cm³
