You are given a wooden block that is 25cm long, 8cm wide and 3cm tall. Also, the block of wood has a mass of 350 grams. What is the density of this block of wood?
density = mass/volume
You know the mass is 350 grams.
The volume is 25 x 8 x 3 = ?? cc.
Plug and chug.
600cc.
To calculate the density of the wooden block, we need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
First, let's find the volume of the block. The volume of a rectangular block can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
In this case, the length (L) is 25 cm, the width (W) is 8 cm, and the height (H) is 3 cm. Substituting these values into the formula:
Volume = 25 cm x 8 cm x 3 cm
Volume = 600 cm³
Now, we have the volume of the block, which is 600 cm³. Next, we'll use the given mass of the block, which is 350 grams.
Finally, we substitute the values into the density formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
Density = 350 g / 600 cm³
Calculating this division gives us the density of the wooden block.
