The density if a sample is 5.8g/cm^3. the sample fills a cylindrical container whose hieght is 10.2 cm and whose radius is 4.3cm Find the mass of the sample.
Mason,
I'm sure the reason you haven't received any responses yet is that you haven't indicated what YOU think the answer is or how YOU think the problem is to be worked.
You'll get better responses if you let the math teachers know how far you've gotten in trying to solve your assigned problems.

I don't how to do this problem
No problem, I'll be happy to guide you through the steps to solve this problem.
To find the mass of the sample, we can use the formula:
density = mass/volume
First, we need to find the volume of the cylindrical container. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
volume = π * radius^2 * height
In this case, the height is given as 10.2 cm and the radius is given as 4.3 cm. Let's substitute these values into the formula:
volume = π * (4.3 cm)^2 * 10.2 cm
Now, calculate the volume.
Now that we have the volume, we can rearrange the formula density = mass/volume to solve for mass:
mass = density * volume
Substitute the given density value (5.8 g/cm^3) and the volume you calculated into the formula and then calculate the mass.
I hope this helps you solve the problem. Let me know if you have any further questions!
