Question

A lead cylinder has a mass of 540 grams and a density of 2.70 g/ml. Calculate the volume of the lead cylinder.

Question 2 options:

0.005 ml


1458 ml


540 ml


200 ml

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of the lead cylinder, you can use the formula for density:

\[
\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}
\]

Rearranging this formula to find volume gives:

\[
\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}
\]

Given:
- Mass of the lead cylinder = 540 grams
- Density of lead = 2.70 g/ml

Now, substitute the values:

\[
\text{Volume} = \frac{540 \, \text{grams}}{2.70 \, \text{g/ml}} = 200 \, \text{ml}
\]

So, the volume of the lead cylinder is **200 ml**.

The correct answer is:
**200 ml**
