Question

a block of wood is a density of 0.6 g/cm and a volume of 1.2 cm. What is the mass of the block of wood?

Answer 1

the block of wood has a mass of 0.72 g

Answer 2

Taking into account the definition of density, the mass of the block of wood is 0.72 g.

In first place, you have to know that density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

That is, the relationship between mass and volume of a substance is defined as density. That is, it allows to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

The expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

In this case, you know that:

• density= 0.6 $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$
• mass= ?
• volume= 1.2 cm³

Replacing in the definition of density:

$0.6 \frac{g}{cm^{3} }=\frac{mass}{1.2cm^{3} }$

Solving:

mass= 0.6$\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$×1.2 cm³

mass= 0.72 g

In summary, the mass of the block of wood is 0.72 g.
