A student masses a metal rectangular prism with dimensions of 0.2 cm, 13.1 cm and 5.4 cm and finds it to be 130.15 g. What is the density of the metal in units of g/cm³?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Density is 9.199 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density of a body is defined as mass of the body per unit volume.

Density is the ratio of mass of a given body to that of its volume.

Given:

Mass of the metal, [tex]m=130.15[/tex] g

Dimensions of the metal are 0.2 cm, 13.1 cm and 5.4 cm. So, volume of the metal is, [tex]V=0.2\times 13.1\times 5.4=14.148[/tex] cm³.

Now, density of the metal is given as,

[tex]Density=\frac{\textrm{mass}}{\textrm{Volume}}=\frac{130.15}{14.148}=9.199[/tex] g/cm³

Therefore, density of the metal is 9.199 g/cm³.
