Volume = area times height = 2m^2 times 1m = 2m^3
Density = weight divided by volume = 10kg divided by 2m^3 = 5kg per m^3

Density = mass/volume
volume = area of base X height of container (assuming the substance is taking up the whole volume)
So density would be 5kg/cubic meters

mass=10kg
volume=2m^3
density=mass/volume
=10/2
density =5kg/m^3

hey so easy , man
density = mass * volume ..........(1)
now volume = length * breadth * height .... (2)
area = length *breadth
putting this value in 2
volume = area * height
now
volume = 2m^2* 1
volume = 2m^3
so density = 10 * 2 kgm^3
density = 20 kgm^3
plz vote as best answer
good luck , dear

to find the density its mass divided bu volume...but your question is in metric???

if the mass fills the container, then it is a simple problem.
do your own homework...keep your points
