Question

Calculate the mass (in kg) of 54.3 m³ of granite. The density of granite is 2700 kg/m³. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer:146,610.00 kg

Explanation:

The density of a substance is given by

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

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

is the volume

is the density

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