1.	Find the density of a handful of sand having a mass of 208 g and it displaces a volume of 80 mL of water.
Answer» Given: Mass of sand (m) = 208g Volume of water (v) = 80mL To calculate density (p), apply the formula given: Density = \(\frac{Mass}{Volume}\) Density = \(\frac{200g}{80ml}\) Density = 2.6g/mL We know that 1mL = 1cm³ Thus, the density of sand is 2.6g/cm³

Find the density of a handful of sand having a mass of 208 g and it displaces a volume of 80 mL of water.

Answer»

Given:

Mass of sand (m) = 208g

Volume of water (v) = 80mL

To calculate density (p), apply the formula given:

Density = \(\frac{Mass}{Volume}\)

Density = \(\frac{200g}{80ml}\)

Density = 2.6g/mL

We know that 1mL = 1cm³

Thus, the density of sand is 2.6g/cm³
