Question

A block of wood of mass $24$ kg floats on water. The volume of wood is $0.032$ $m^{3}$ . Find the density of wood.(Density of water $= 1000$ kg $m^{- 3}$ )

Open in App

Solution

Density of wood= $\frac{m a s s o f w o o d}{v o l u m e o f w o o d}$

= $\frac{24}{0.032}$

= $760 k g m^{- 3}$
