You make the following measurements of an object – 22 kg and 42 m3. What would the object’s density be? Show your work for credit and include final units.
Answer: \(0.52kgm^{-3}\)
Explanation:
Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.
\(Density=\frac{mass}{volume}\)
We are given : Mass of an object = 22 kg
Volume of an object = \(42m^3\)
Putting in the values in the formula for density:
\(Density=\frac{22kg}{42m^3}=0.52kgm^{-3}\)
Thus the mass has density of \(0.52kgm^{-3}\) in S.I units.
