A flexible metal sheet of length 6.0cm, breadth 5.00cm and the average thickness of 0.883cm has a mass of 23.00g. calculate the density of the metal
ρ=m/V=m/L•W•H =
=23•10⁻³/6•10⁻²•5•10⁻²• 0.883•10⁻²=
=868.3 kg/m³
To calculate the density of the metal, we need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
The given information provides us with the mass of the metal, but we still need to find the volume.
To calculate the volume of the metal, we need to use the formula:
Volume = Length x Breadth x Thickness
Now, let's substitute the given values into the formulas:
Mass = 23.00g
Length = 6.0cm
Breadth = 5.00cm
Thickness = 0.883cm
Volume = 6.0cm x 5.00cm x 0.883cm
To calculate the volume, we multiply the given dimensions together:
Volume = 26.49 cm³
Now, we have both the mass and volume values. Let's substitute these values into the density equation:
Density = 23.00g / 26.49 cm³
To calculate the density, divide the mass by the volume:
Density = 0.870 g/cm³
Therefore, the density of the metal is 0.870 g/cm³.
