Calculate the density of a metal object that has a dull surface and an irregular shape. It has a mass of 321 grams and a volume of 45.2 cm 3.
mass = volume x density
4512
7.10 g/cm cubed
To calculate the density of an object, we use the equation:
Density = Mass / Volume
In this case, the mass of the metal object is given as 321 grams, and the volume is given as 45.2 cm^3.
To calculate the density, divide the mass by the volume:
Density = 321 grams / 45.2 cm^3
Now, we need to make sure that the units of mass and volume are compatible. Grams and cubic centimeters (cm^3) are compatible units, so we can proceed with the calculation.
Density = 7.11 grams/cm^3
Therefore, the density of the metal object is 7.11 grams/cm^3.
