What is meant by the statement "copper is denser than wood"

Open in App

Solution

copper is denser than wood. The masses of the atoms and the spacing between them determine the density of materials. Density is considered as the 'lightness' or 'heaviness' of material of same size. It is the measure of the compactness of matter, of how much mass occupies a given space. Thus, copper is denser than wood (provided we consider the amounts of copper and wood to be the same)

Assertion (A): When a solid copper sphere and solid wooden sphere both

have same mass are spinning about their own axis with same angular

velocity then wooden sphere has greater angular momentum

Reason (R): Wood is less denser than copper so radius of wooden sphere is more than that of copper and so also moment of inertia.
