Q: a silver ingot has a volume of 53.6 cm³ and weighs 500g. what is the desity in grams per cubic centimeter.
Answer:
9.33 kg/m³
Explanation:
Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance and it's volume.
The Formula for Density is given as,
D = m/v ..................... Equation 1
Where D = Density of the silver ingot, m = mass of the silver ingot, v = volume of the silver ingot.
Given: m = 500 g, v = 53.6 cm³
Substitute into equation 1
D = 500/53.6
D = 9.33 kg/m³.
Hence the density of the ingot = 9.33 kg/m³.
