A rectangular object is 8 cm long 4 cm high and 2 cm wide. If it has a mass of 1.2 kg , determine its density

1 answer

To find the density of the rectangular object, we need to calculate its volume first.

The volume of a rectangular object can be calculated by multiplying its length, height, and width together.

Volume = length x height x width
Volume = 8 cm x 4 cm x 2 cm
Volume = 64 cm^3

Now that we have calculated the volume of the object, we can find its density by using the formula:

Density = Mass / Volume
Density = 1.2 kg / 64 cm^3
Density = 0.01875 kg/cm^3

Therefore, the density of the rectangular object is 0.01875 kg/cm^3.
