Block Silver Volume

In summary, the formula for calculating volume is V = m/d, where V stands for volume, m stands for mass, and d stands for density. The density of silver is 10.49 g/cm^3. To convert from newtons (N) to kilograms (kg), you must divide the force in newtons by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2). Therefore, 107 N is equivalent to approximately 10.92 kg. To find the mass of the block of silver, we can rearrange the formula for volume to solve for mass. Therefore, m = V*d. We can then plug in the known values of V (volume) and d (density) to calculate the mass.

First step is to find the relevant equation that relates volume and weight.

1. What is the formula for calculating volume?

The formula for calculating volume is V = m/d, where V stands for volume, m stands for mass, and d stands for density.

2. What is the density of silver?

The density of silver is 10.49 g/cm³.

3. How do you convert 107 N to kg?

To convert from newtons (N) to kilograms (kg), you must divide the force in newtons by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). Therefore, 107 N is equivalent to approximately 10.92 kg.

4. What is the mass of the block of silver?

To find the mass of the block of silver, we can rearrange the formula for volume to solve for mass. Therefore, m = V*d. We can then plug in the known values of V (volume) and d (density) to calculate the mass.

5. Can the volume of a block of silver that weighs 107 N vary?

Yes, the volume of a block of silver that weighs 107 N can vary depending on the shape and dimensions of the block. The density of silver remains constant, but the volume can change if the mass is distributed differently or if the shape of the block is altered.
