A block of metal has a width of 3.2 cm, a length of 17.1 cm, and height of 3.7 cm. Its mass is 1.3 kg. Calculate the density of the metal.
To calculate the density of an object, we need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
In this case, we are given the mass of the metal (1.3 kg), but we need to calculate the volume of the metal block.
The volume of a rectangular solid (like the metal block) is given by the formula:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
Using the given dimensions, we can calculate the volume:
Volume = 17.1 cm x 3.2 cm x 3.7 cm
Now we can substitute the values into the density formula:
Density = 1.3 kg / (17.1 cm x 3.2 cm x 3.7 cm)
Calculating the volume:
Volume = 17.1 cm x 3.2 cm x 3.7 cm
Volume = 167.776 cm^3 (rounded to three decimal places)
Now we can substitute the values into the density formula:
Density = 1.3 kg / 167.776 cm^3
Calculating the density:
Density = 1.3 kg / 167.776 cm^3
Density = 0.00774 kg/cm^3 (rounded to five decimal places)
Therefore, the density of the metal block is approximately 0.00774 kg/cm^3.
mass = volume x density
You have mass given and volume is length x width x height. Calculate density. Note that you will need to convert kg to g.

(1.1kg/1)(1000g/1kg)= 1100g
3.2*17.1*3.7=328.32
d=1100g/328.3cm^3
3.4g/cm^3
