You decide you want to carry a boulder home from the beach it is 30 centimeter on each side. It is made of granite, which has a typical density of 2.8 g/cm3. How much will this boulder

Verified Answer :

volume = 303030 = 27000 cm^3
density = 2.8 g/cm^3

mass = 27000*2.8 = 75600g = 75.6 kg

The mass of the boulder is 75600 kg.

What is mass?

mass is the quantity of matter a body contains.

To calculate the mass of the boulder, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • D = m/v.............. Equation 1

Where:

  • D = Density of the Boulder
  • v = Volume of the Boulder
  • m = mass of the Boulder

Make m the subject of the equation

  • m = Dv............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • D = 2.8 g/cm³
  • v = l³ = 30³ = 27000 cm³

From the question,

  • m = (2.8×27000)
  • m = 75600 kg

Hence, the mass of the boulder is 75600 kg.
