You just measured a block of wood and obtained the following information: mass = 55.120 g length = 8.5 cm height = 4.3 cm width = 3.3 cm Determine the volume and density of the wood block.

Volume of the wood = 120.615 cm3

Density of the wood = 0.457 g/cm3

Explanation:

By definition, density is the mass of a substance per unit volume and its units are kg/m3, g/l etc.

Volume of a cuboid = length * breadth * height

Length = 8.5 cm

Breadth = 3.3 cm

Height = 4.3 cm

Volume of the wood = 8.5 * 3.3 * 4.3

= 120.615 cm3

Mass of the wood = 55.120 g

Density = mass/volume

= 55.120/120.615

= 0.457 g/cm3

= 457 kg/m3
