A 27.0 kg iron weight lifting plate has a volume of 3430 cm3 . what is the density of the iron plate in g/cm3?

Respuesta :

Weight of iron weight lifting plate = 27.0 kg.

1 kg = 1000 grams

27.0 kg  = 27 * 1000 = 27000 grams.

Volume of the plate = 3430 cm^3.

Density is given by formula (ρ) = [tex]\frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

Plugging values of mass and volume in above formula, we get

ρ=[tex]\frac{27000 \ grams}{3430 \ cm^3}[/tex]

Dividing 27000 by 3430, we get  

ρ=7.87 g/cm^3.

Therefore, the density of the iron plate 7.87 g/cm^3.
