A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, what is the density of copper?



Answer :

The density of the copper block is  8.92 g/cm³

  • The density is also called volumetric mass density which is used to measure the mass of a substance.
  • Density is intensive property that means it does not depend upon the size or amount of the substance.

        The given values are

        The mass of the copper = 1896 g

         The dimensions of block = 8.4 cm ,5.5 cm ,4.6 cm

         The formulae of density is

         Density = Mass/ Volume

         Volume of a rectangular block = length ×breadth× height

                                                   = 8.4 cm× 5.5 cm ×4.6 cm

                                                   = 212.52 cm³

         By substituting all the values in given formulae

         Density of copper block = 1896 g /  212.52 cm³

                                                   = 8.92 g/cm³

By using the density formulae we can easily calculate the mass of        substance or volume of a substance.
