Question

what is the density of an irregularly shaped object that has a volume of 3.0 mL and a mass of 12 grams?

Answer 1

We can use the density formula to find the irregularly shaped object's density.

The formula is:

$\rho=\frac{m}{V}$

Where

p (rho) is the density

m is mass

V is volume

Given,

V = 3 mL

m = 12 grams

Substituting, we get:

$\begin{gathered} \rho=\frac{m}{V} \\ \rho=\frac{12}{3} \\ \rho=4\text{ grams/mL} \end{gathered}$

The density is 4 grams/mL
