A type of wood known as white pine has a density equal to 0.50 g/cm^3.What is the mass of a block of white pine that has the dimensions 5.0 cm by 10.0 cm by 200.0 cm?

Respuesta :

Density = mass/ volume.
So, mass = Density x volume

You have the information to get the volume in the problem:
5.0 cm x 10.0 cm x 200.0 cm= 10,000 cm^3

Now, find mass.

Mass = (.50 g/cm^3)(10,000 cm^3)
*cm^3 units cancel out*
= 5,000 g
