Question

The density of a metal is $10.8\times {10}^3\mathrm{kg}/{\mathrm{m}}^3$. Find the relative density of the metal.

Answer 1

Given:
Density of metal = $10.8\times {10}^3\mathrm{kg}/{\mathrm{m}}^3$
We know, density of water = 1000 kg/m³
$\mathrm{Relative}\mathrm{density}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{substance}=\frac{\mathrm{Density}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{substance}}{\mathrm{Density}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{water}}$
$\mathrm{Relative}\mathrm{density}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{substance}=\frac{10.8\times {10}^3}{1000}=10.8$
