A block of metal is 9.27 cm long, 3.87 cm wide, and 3.14 cm high. It has a mass of 851.6 grams. What is the density of this metal? And most of all how to you find it?

density is mass per volume.
You are given the mass and measurements of the solid.
Volume is width * hight * length.
V = 9.27 * 3.87 * 3.14.
D = 851.6 / V
D = 851.6 / (9.27 * 3.87 * 3.14)
units will be in grams / cubic cm.

I won't give you the answer because I don't have a calculator. But, you set it up as Density = Mass/Volume. So multiply the height, width, and length to get the volume, and then devide the mass (given in grams) by the answer. That is the density...

i will not furnish you the respond simply by actuality i've got not got a calculator. yet, you place it up as Density = Mass/quantity. So multiply the top, width, and length to get the quantity, and then devide the mass (given in grams) interior the process the respond. it rather is the density...

Density is grams over cm cubed (volume). So, multiply .27 cm, 3.87 cm, and 3.14 cm together and then stick 851.6 on top.

Did you do a google search on "density"? I did, and got a link to Wikpedia which tells you all you want to know about density and how to calculate it. You should find that helpful.

Density is calculated by Mass divided by Volume. (d=m/v)
Volume is calcuated by the length x width x height (V=lwh)
Replace the V to get d=m/lwh. You do the math.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density for an explanation on density.
Good Luck!!!

Density = Mass / Volume
851.8 g. / (9.27X3.87X3.13)cm
851.8 g./ 112.28cm
7.59 g/cm3

density = mass/volume
so: density = 851.5/112.65
= 760g/cm3
