A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 46.0 mm in height and 50.5 mm in diameter. What is the density of the material?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The density of the material is 10.9 g/cm³

Explanation:

The formula of density (D) is given by:

[tex]D=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

You have to calculate the volumen of the cylinder, which is given by:

V = π r² h

where r is the radius and h is the height.

The formula can be written in therms of the diameter (d), using the fact that half the diameter is the radius:

V=π[tex](\frac{d}{2}) ^{2}[/tex]h

Calculating the volume:

V = π[tex](\frac{50.5}{2}) ^{2} (46.0)[/tex]

V = 92136.2 mm³

The volume in cm³ is: 92.1 cm³ (because 1000mm³=1cm³) and the mass in grams is: 1000g (because 1kg=1000g)

Calculating the density:

[tex]D=\frac{1000(g)}{92.1(cm^{3}) } = 10.9 g/cm^{3}[/tex]
