The mass of an iron rod is 52g. The density of iron is 7.8gcm-3. Find the volume of the rod.
Step-1: Given
Mass of the iron rod, m=52g
Density of iron rod, ρ=7.8gcm-3
Step-2: Formula
Densityρ=massmvolumeV
Step-3: Volume of iron rod will be
Densityρ=massmvolumeV⇒volumeV=massmDensityρ⇒volumeV=52g7.8g.cm-3⇒volumeV=6.7cm3
Hence, the volume of rod is V=6.7cm3
