What is the density of a block of unknown material with a mass of 13.26 g if the dimensions are:
length = 2.2 cm
height = 1.7 cm
width = 4.1 cm
You have to find the volume of the block by multiplying L x W x H
One you have the volume, you can find the density.
density = mass/volume
Your answer should be in grams/cm^3
To find the density of the block, you need to use the formula:
Density = Mass / Volume
1. First, calculate the volume of the block using the given dimensions:
Volume = length * height * width
In this case, the length (L) is 2.2 cm, the height (H) is 1.7 cm, and the width (W) is 4.1 cm. So the volume (V) can be calculated as:
V = L * H * W
V = 2.2 cm * 1.7 cm * 4.1 cm
2. Multiply the values to find the volume:
V = 14.026 cm³
3. Now, you have the volume (V) and the mass (m) of the block. Divide the mass by the volume to find the density:
Density = Mass / Volume
The mass (m) is given as 13.26 g and the volume (V) is 14.026 cm³. So, the density (D) can be calculated as:
D = 13.26 g / 14.026 cm³
The density of the block is approximately 0.944 g/cm³.
