About 2 x 1020 kg.
My gosh this is exactly the same question as one of my HW questions! But anyway here: Ceres: 9.43 * 1020 kg Pallas: 2.11 x 1020 kg
A square or a rectangle is a 2-dimensional figure. It can have no mass.
Density = Mass/Volume = 4.2 units of mass/2units of volume = 2.1 units of mass per unit of volume.
The same 2 to 3 because the mass is directly proportional to the volume. Recall the relationship Mass = volume x density. Here density remains constant
Weight=mass x acceleration due to gravity = mass(lbs) x 32.1 (ft/s^2) So, mass(lbs) = (weight)/(32.1)
The mass of the asteroid belt is around 3.0 -> 3.6 ×1021 kilograms.Over 50% of that mass is contained within four objects:- Ceres, Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea
Pallas or 2 Pallas has a mass of about 2.11 x 1020 kg The Earth for comparison has a mass of 5.9736 x 1024 kg
By mass, this would be Pallas (2 Pallas), the third most massive object in the Main Belt.The largest asteroid was Ceres, now considered a "dwarf planet" (the only one inside the orbit of Neptune). That would make Vesta (4 Vesta) and Pallas the largest of the remaining Main Belt asteroids. They are similar in size (diameter 530-565 km) but Vesta is slightly more massive.Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygeia are the four largest objects and contain more than half of the total estimated mass of the Asteroid Belt.
An asteroid is a minor planet that can lean towards terrestrial objects such as the rocky protoplanet-asteroids of Vesta and Pallas.
Triton is one of the moons of Neptune. Ceres used to be an asteroid, but has now been recategorized as a "dwarf planet". Pallas and Vesta are asteroids.
According to the US naval astronomical applications department the 3rd largest asteroid body is called 4 Vesta. Ref: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/asteroid_masses Actually, they do not know what the largest asteroid is since Pallas and Vesta both have been designated as the second largest asteroid after Ceres, which is no longer an asteroid. Since Ceres is a dwarf planet now, Pallas or Vesta is the largest now. Since Ceres is a dwarf planet, the third largest asteroid is Hygiea now. Pallas and Vesta are the top two largest asteroids now. Vesta is more massive than Pallas, though.
Word Origin: Palladium was named for the asteroid Pallas, which was discovered approximately the same time (1803). Pallas was the Greek goddess of wisdom.
discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, who named it palladium after the asteroid Pallas

This is mainly because the asteroid belt is thinly distributed (i.e it has a low density). Half of it's total mass is contained within four large asteroids - Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea. As a result, there is only a small chance that a spaceship would be hit by an asteroid; it is estimated that there is less than 1 in a billion chances of such a collision occurring.
It's a lot smaller than Pluto. Its diameter is about 550 kilometers. (Pluto has a diameter of about 2300 kilometers.)
The three largest are, Ceres, Vesta, and Pallas,
