Given:
Dimension of sample iron= 2 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm
Mass = 94 g
Find the density.
Density formula: Density = mass/volume
Solution:
In order to solve for the volume, multiply the dimensions of the sample of iron.
v = (2cm)(3cm)(2cm)
v = 12 cm^3
Substitute the values in the given formula of density.
d = 94 g / 12 cm^3
d= 7.83 g/cm^3
