Question

A substance has a mass of 15,000 kg and a volume of 30 m 3 . What is the density of thesubstance?

Answer 1

ANSWER

500 kg/m³

EXPLANATION

Given:

• The mass of the substance, m = 15,000 kg

,

• The volume of the substance, V = 30 m³

Find:

• The density of the substance, ρ

The density of a substance of mass m and volume V is,

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

Substitute the known values and solve,

$\rho=\frac{15,000kg}{30m^3}=500kg/m^3$

Hence, the density of the substance is 500 kg/m³.
