QUESTION:
In determining the density of a rectangular metal bar. a student made the following measurements: length, 8.53 cm; width, 2.4 cm; height, 1.0 cm; mass, 52.7064 g. Calculate the density of the metal to the correct number of significant figures.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Here we have to calculate the density of the metal to the correct number of significant figures.
Given:
Length of the rectangular metal bar = 8.53 cm
Width = 2.4 cm
Height = 1.0 cm
Mass = 52.7064 g
It is known that density = \(\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }}\)
