Frank has a sample of steel that weighs 80 grams. If the density of his sample of steel is 8 g/cm3, what is the sample’s volume?
Answer:
The volume of the sample is \(10\ cm^3\)
Explanation:
It is given that,
Frank has a sample of steel that weighs 80 grams
The density of his sample of steel is \(d=8\ g/cm^3\)
We have to find the volume of the sample. Density of an object is defined as mass per unit volume i. e.
\(d=\dfrac{m}{V}\)
\(V=\dfrac{m}{d}\)
\(V=\dfrac{80\ g}{8\ gm/cm^3}\)
\(V=10\ cm^3\)
Hence, the volume of the sample is \(10\ cm^3\)
