Density #1

R. Bryant 2008 WSMS – Based on “Science Starters” by T. Trimpe at http://sciencespot.net

Find the density of the box below.

12.5 cm

5.6 cm5.6 cm

Mass 456 g

Page 3: Density 1 (1)

The solution …

Volume = length x width x height

V = 12.5 cm x 5.6 cm x 5.6 cm

V = 392 cm3

M = 456 g

Density = Mass ÷ Volume

D = 456 g ÷ 392 cm3

D = 1.16 g/cm3

**The box would sink!
