What volume of lead (of density 11.3 g/cm3 ) has the same mass as 298 cm3 of a piece of redwood (of density 0.38 g/cm3 )? Answer in units of cm3 .
What volume of lead (of density 11.3 g/cm3 ) has the same mass as 298 cm3 of a piece of redwood (of density 0.38 g/cm3 )? Answer in units of cm3 .
Density = Mass / Volume
Mass =Density x Volume
Mass = 0.38 x 298 = 113.24 grams - the mass of the redwood = mass of the chunk of lead.
Volume = Mass / Density
V = 113.24 / 11.3
V = 10.02 cm^3 - volume of the chunk of lead.
