17. The mass of a length of metal wire is 57g. When the wire is placed in a graduated cylinder with water, it displaces 12mL of water. What is the density of the wire? *

4.75 milliliters
4.75 cubic centimetres
0.21 milliliters
0.21 cubic centimeters

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

4.75 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. The density of the wire is ...

(57 g)/(12 mL) = 4.75 g/mL = 4.75 g/cm³

__

The usual units for density are g/cm³ or kg/m³. None of the offered choices seems to have the correct units.
