To find the density in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3), you need to convert the given density from kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3).
The conversion factor that relates kg/m3 to g/cm3 is:
1 kg/m3 = 1000 g/m3
1 m3 = (100 cm) x (100 cm) x (100 cm) = 1,000,000 cm3
To convert the density from kg/m3 to g/cm3, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert kg to grams:
Since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram, multiply the density by 1000:
5000 kg/m3 * 1000 g/kg = 5,000,000 g/m3
Step 2: Convert cubic meters to cubic centimeters:
Since there are 1,000,000 cm3 in a m3, divide the density by 1,000,000:
5,000,000 g/m3 / 1,000,000 cm3/m3 = 5 g/cm3
Therefore, the density of the alloy is 5 g/cm3.
