Since, this is a cubical block, It can be length * breadth* height..
To calculate the density of the block of wood, you would divide its mass (in grams) by its volume (in milliliters). The formula for density is: Density = Mass / Volume. Plug in the values for mass and volume to find the density of the block in g/mL.
Density of wood = mass/volume
Density = Mass/Volume
If its a cuboid, volume = length * breadth * height .
The density of the block of wood is 0.6 g/cm^3. (Density = mass/volume)
IF you knew the volume of the block and the density of the material it was made of you could calculate it mass (mass = density * volume) but it is normal to measure the mass of something using a mass balance.
Use the formula Density = Mass/Volume. If you cant plug in the values...then your professor is not doing his job well.
A block of light balsa wood and a block of heavy teak of the same size, will also have the same volume (which is the space each block occupies).
A graduated cylinder or volumetric flask could be used to measure the displacement of water when the wood block is submerged in it. By measuring the volume of water displaced, you can determine the volume of the wood block. A balance can then be used to measure the mass of the wood block, allowing you to calculate its density.
no clue please help
volume,weight and mass
Density = mass/volume = 5.4g/(9*2*6) cm3 = 5.4/108 cm3 = 0.05 g/cm3. Balsa, one of the least dense woods, has a density of 0.16 g/cm3 which is more than 3 times the "density" of your wood! So have you discovered a super-light wood species?
