Calculate the density of a rectangular material that weighs 17.301 g and has an edge length of 0.750 cm, a height of 1.22 cm, and a width of 1.7 cm.

The density of rectangular material is 11.1 g/cm³.

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

density  =  ?

length = 0.750 cm

height = 1.22 cm

width = 1.7 cm

mass=  17.301 g

first of all we will calculate the volume.

It is know that  

volume = length × width × height

v = 0.750 cm  × 1.7 cm × 1.22 cm

v =  1.56 cm³

Now we will put the values in the formula,

d= m/v

d = 17.301 g / 1.56 cm³

d = 11.1 g/cm³

The density of rectangular material is 11.1 g/cm³
