146,610.00 kg

Explanation:

The density of a substance is given by

$d= \frac{m}{v}$

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

For the sample of granite in this problem, we know:

$</p><p>V=54.3 \: m3 \:  is \: the \: volume</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>$

$d=2700kg/m3 is \: the \: density$

So, we can re-arrange the equation to solve for m, the mass of the sample:

$m=dV=(2700)(54.3)=146,610.00kg$
