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
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!
