QUESTION:
Block A of an unknown metal has a volume of \(125 \mathrm{~cm}^3\). Block B of a different metal has a volume of \(145 \mathrm{~cm}^3\). If block A has a greater mass than block B, what can be said of the relative densities of the two metals? (Assume that both blocks are solid.)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Here, we have to calculate the relative densities of Block A and Block B.
We know,
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of the substance.
Density = Mass/volume.
