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.

Verified Answer :

density = mass / volume
therefore, density = 22/42 = 0.524 kg/m3

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.
