A body of density 9.0g/cm^3 appears to have a mass of 27.0g in a liquid of density 1.2g/cm ^3. What is the volume of the solid
v * 9.0 = 27.0 + (v * 1.2)
To find the volume of the solid, we can use the formula:
Volume = mass / density
Given:
- Mass of the solid = 27.0 g
- Density of the solid = 9.0 g/cm^3
Using the formula, we can calculate the volume of the solid:
Volume = 27.0 g / 9.0 g/cm^3
Simplifying the units, we have:
Volume = 3.0 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the solid is 3.0 cm^3.
To find the volume of the solid, we can use the formula:
Volume = Mass / Density
Given:
Mass of the solid = 27.0 grams
Density of the liquid = 1.2 g/cm^3
First, let's convert the density of the solid from grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3) to grams per milliliter (g/mL) since the mass is given in grams:
Density of the solid = 9.0 g/cm^3
Density of the solid = 9.0 g/mL
Now, we can calculate the volume of the solid:
Volume = Mass / Density
Volume = 27.0 grams / 9.0 g/mL
By dividing the mass (27.0 g) by the density (9.0 g/mL), we get:
Volume = 3.0 mL
Therefore, the volume of the solid is 3.0 mL.
