A block is found to have a volume of 35.3 cm^3. it's mass is 31.7 g. Calculate the density of the block.
Answer: The density of block is \(0.90g/cm^3\)
Explanation:
To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:
\(\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}\)
We are given:
Volume of block = \(35.3cm^3\)
Mass of block = 31.7 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
\(\text{Density of block}=\frac{31.7}{35.3cm^3}\\\\\text{Density of block}=0.90g/cm^3\)
Hence, the density of block is \(0.90g/cm^3\)
