density=mass/volume

The volume of a sphere is:

V=(4πr^3)/3 so

d=3m/(4πr^3), we are given that r=2cm and m=12g

d=36/(32π) g/cm^3

d=1.125/π  g/cm^3

d≈0.358 g/cm^3

d≈0.36 g/cm^3  (to nearest hundredth of a gram per cm^3)

The density of the sphere with mass 12 g and radius 2 cm is 0.36 g/cm³. The correct option is the first one (0.36 g/cm3)

From the question,

The mass of the sphere is 12 g and

The radius is 2 cm.

To determine its density,

From the formula

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

Therefore, we will first determine the volume of the sphere.

Volume of a sphere is given by the formula

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]

Where [tex]V[/tex] is the volume of the sphere

and [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of the sphere

Take [tex]\pi = 3.14159[/tex]

From the question, [tex]r = 2 \ cm[/tex]

Put these values into the equation,

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}\times 3.14159 \times 2^{3}[/tex]

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}\times 3.14159 \times 8[/tex]

[tex]V = \frac{100.53088}{3}[/tex]

[tex]V = 33.51029 \ cm^{3}[/tex]

Now, for the density

Put the values of the volume and mass in the equation

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

From the question, mass = 12 g

From above, V = 33.51029 cm³

∴ [tex]Density =\frac{12 \ g}{33.51029 \ cm^{3} }[/tex]

[tex]Density = 0.3581 \ g/cm^{3}[/tex]

Density ≅ 0.36 g/cm³

Hence, the density of the sphere with mass 12 g and radius 2 cm is 0.36 g/cm³. The correct option is the first one (0.36 g/cm3)
