David Sang Solutions for Chapter: Making Measurements, Exercise 3: Questions

Calculate the density of mercury if $500 {\mathrm{cm}}^3$ has a mass of $6.60 \mathrm{kg}$. Give your answer in $\raisebox{1ex}{$\mathrm{g}$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{${\mathrm{cm}}^3$}\right.$.

A steel block has mass $40 \mathrm{g}$. It is in the form of a cube. Each edge of the cube is $1.74 \mathrm{cm}$ long. Calculate the density of the steel.

A student measures the density of a piece of steel. She uses the method of displacement to find its volume. Her measurements are shown in the diagram. Calculate the volume of the steel and its density.
