The mass of lead is 232 g and its volume is 20 cm 3. Find the density of lead in kg m -3
Explanation;
Step 1: Given data
massoflead=232gvolumeoflead=20cm3
Step 2: Formula
Density=massvolume
SubstitutethevaluesinaboveformulaDensity=232g20cm3Density=11.6g/cm3
Step 3:
Weknowthat,1g/cm3=1000kg/m3Now11.6g/cm3=11.6×1000kg/m3=11600kg/m3
Hence, The density of lead is 11600 kg m -3
a piece of lead weighs 464g and has a volume of 40 cm3. find the density of lead.
Numerical Problems:
Mass of a lead piece of volume 50 cm3 is 600 g. Find its density.
