What are the units of density?Bobs said:A overflow container that its overflow level is $100$ $cm^3$ has $80$ $cm^3$ water. When a stone that is $120$ $g$ is being dropped into the overflow container, the water increases $10$ $cm^3$.
How to find the density?
I currently don't have any idea about it.
In this specific problem, what is m equal to?Bobs said:That's all are d = m/v but I don't know how to apply it.
The formula for calculating density is density = mass / volume. In this case, the mass is 120 g and the volume is 100 cm^3, so the density would be 120 g / 100 cm^3 = 1.2 g/cm^3.
The mass of the stone can be measured using a scale or balance. The stone should be placed on the scale and the reading should be taken in grams.
The volume of the overflow container can be measured by filling it with water and measuring the amount of water that is displaced. This volume can then be converted to cubic centimeters (cm^3).
It is important to use consistent units for mass and volume in order to accurately calculate density. If different units are used, the resulting density measurement will not be accurate.
The density of the stone tells us how much mass is packed into a specific volume. It can also provide information about the type of material the stone is made of, as different materials have different densities.
