QuestionFind the density of a rectangular artifact with dimensions 2 cm×3 cm×4 cm2 \mathrm{~cm} \times 3 \mathrm{~cm} \times 4 \mathrm{~cm} and mass 36 grams.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The artifact is a rectangular prism with dimensions  cm \mathrm{~cm} by 3 cm3 \mathrm{~cm} by 4 cm4 \mathrm{~cm}. . The mass of the artifact is36 grams.
3. The density is calculated as mass divided by volume.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the volume of the rectangular prism. We can do this by multiplying the length, width, and height.
Volume=LengthtimesWidthtimesHeightVolume = Length \\times Width \\times Height

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the length, width, and height to calculate the volume.
Volume=2 cmtimes3 cmtimes cmVolume =2 \mathrm{~cm} \\times3 \mathrm{~cm} \\times \mathrm{~cm}

STEP 4

Calculate the volume of the artifact.
Volume=2 cmtimes3 cmtimes4 cm=24 cm3Volume =2 \mathrm{~cm} \\times3 \mathrm{~cm} \\times4 \mathrm{~cm} =24 \mathrm{~cm}^3

STEP 5

Now that we have the volume, we can find the density of the artifact. The density is calculated as mass divided by volume.
Density=Mass/VolumeDensity = Mass / Volume

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the mass and the volume to calculate the density.
Density=36 g/24 cm3Density =36 \mathrm{~g} /24 \mathrm{~cm}^3

STEP 7

Calculate the density of the artifact.
Density=36 g/24 cm3=1.5 g/cm3Density =36 \mathrm{~g} /24 \mathrm{~cm}^3 =1.5 \mathrm{~g/cm}^3The density of the artifact is 1.5 g/cm31.5 \mathrm{~g/cm}^3.
