Find the density in g/cm3 of a 120 cm3 piece of metal having a mass of 2 kg.
To find the density of the metal, we can use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
First, let's convert the mass from kilograms to grams. Since 1 kg = 1000 g, the mass of the metal in grams would be:
2 kg * 1000 g/kg = 2000 g
Next, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Density = 2000 g / 120 cm3
To get the density in g/cm3, we divide the mass in grams by the volume in cubic centimeters:
Density = 16.67 g/cm3
Therefore, the density of the metal is 16.67 g/cm3.
