Question

you do
a cork has a mass of 3 grams and a volume of 16 cm³. what is its density?
given:
m = 3g
v = 16
work:
m/v
answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall density formula

Density ($
ho$) is given by the formula $
ho = \frac{M}{V}$, where $M$ is mass and $V$ is volume.

Step2: Substitute values

We know $M = 3\ \text{g}$ and $V = 16\ \text{cm}^3$. Substitute these into the formula: $
ho=\frac{3}{16}$.

Step3: Calculate the value

$\frac{3}{16}= 0.1875\ \text{g/cm}^3$.

Answer:

The density of the cork is $0.1875\ \text{g/cm}^3$ (or $\frac{3}{16}\ \text{g/cm}^3$).
