Question

Substance Density (grams/cm3)Chloroform - 1.5Ebony wood - 1.2Mahogany wood - 0.85Oil - 0.9Water - 1.025.Since volume = mass/density, a 1,700 gram beam of mahogany wood has a volume of...Volume = Mass / DensitySelect one:a. 500 cm3b. 1,445 cm3c. 1,785 cm3d. 2,000 cm3

Answer 1

As the question gave us the formula in which we have to use to calculate the volume of this type of wood:

V = m/d

We have:

m = 1700 grams

d = 0.85

Now we add these values into the formula:

V = 1700/0.85

V = 2000 cm3, letter D
