Question

calculate the density of the log in g/cm³. express your answer using two significant figures. 0.88 g/cm³ submit previous answers correct part b is the log oak or pine? (density of oak = 0.9 g/cm³; density of pine = 0.4 g/cm³) the log is pine because the calculated density aligns with the density of pine. the log is neither density nor pine because the calculated density does not align with the density of either type. the log is oak because the calculate density aligns with the density of oak.

Explanation:

Step1: Compare log density with given densities

The density of the log is $0.88\ g/cm^{3}$, density of oak is $0.9\ g/cm^{3}$ and density of pine is $0.4\ g/cm^{3}$.

Step2: Determine the type of wood

$0.88\ g/cm^{3}$ is close to $0.9\ g/cm^{3}$. So the log is oak.

Answer:

The log is oak because the calculate density aligns with the density of oak.
