Question

The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and the density of copper is 8900 kg/m3. Which of the following statements is incorrect?

(a) The density of a certain volume of copperThe density of the same volume of water=8.9
(b) The volume of a certain mass of copperThe volume of the same mass of water=8.9
(c) The weight of a certain volume of copperThe weight of the same volume of water=8.9
(d) The mass of a certain volume of copperThe mass of the same volume of water=8.9

Solution

Ans: b.
Density=The volume of a certain mass of copperThe volume of the same mass of water=8.9
This is because the density is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to the volume of the object.
