What is the density of a board whose dimensions are 5.54 cm x 10.6 cm X 199 cm and whose mass is 28.6 g?

0.00244g/cm³ (3 s.f.)

Explanation:

The formula of density is . We already know the mass is 28.6kg, so we need to find the volume first before calculating the density.

Volume of board = 5.54 cm × 10.6 cm × 199 cm

                            = 11 700 cm³ (3 s.f.)

Density of board =

                            = 0.00244g/cm³ (3 s.f.)

d = 0.0024 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Density of board = ?

Volume = 5.54 cm× 10.6 cm× 199 cm

Mass of board = 28.6 g

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v = volume

Volume = 5.54 cm× 10.6 cm× 199 cm = 11686.1 cm³

d = 28.6 g/ 11686.1 cm³

d = 0.0024 g/cm³
