DENSITY CALCULATIONS

BASIC b. m = 0.001 kg and V = 0.002 m3

1. Calculate the density ρ (in kg/m3) for each of the following:
c. m = 0.015 kg and V = 0.050 m3
a. m = 10 kg and V = 10 m3
HARD
b. m = 15.5 kg and V = 0.1 m3

c. m = 20.20 kg and V = 0.01 m3

2. Calculate the mass m (in kg) for each of the following:

a. ρ = 10 kg/m3 and V = 15 m3
b. ρ = 0.15 kg/m3 and V = 12.20 m3

c. ρ = 0.006 kg/m3 and V = 1.005 m3

3. Calculate the volume V (in m3) for each of the following:

a. m = 20 kg and ρ = 10 kg/m3

b. m = 0.22 kg and ρ = 0.05 kg/m3

c. m = 6.60 kg and ρ = 0.003 kg/m3

1. Calculate the density ρ (in kg/m3) for each of the following:

a. m = 10 g and V = 10 cm3

You need to change g into kg and cm3 into m3

m = 10 g = ______ kg and V = 10 cm3 = ______ m3 To go from cm3 to m3 → ÷ 1,000,000

Now you can calculate the density in kg/m3 To go from g to kg → ÷ 1,000

ρ = ______ kg/m3

b. m = 12.2 g and V = 200 cm3

c. m = 300.3 g and V = 600.6 cm3

2. Calculate the density ρ (in g/cm3) for each of the following:

a. m = 10 kg and V = 10 m3

You need to change kg into g and m3 into cm3

m = 10 kg = ______ g and V = 10 m3 = ______ cm3

Now you can calculate the density in g/cm3

ρ = ______ g/cm3
 To go from m3 to cm3 → × 1,000,000
To go from kg to g → × 1,000

1. A wooden post has a volume of 0.025 m3 and a mass of 20 kg. Calculate its density in kg/m3.

2. An object has a mass of 100 g and a volume of 20 cm3. Calculate its density in kg/m3.

3. An object has a volume of 3 m3 and a density of 6 000 kg/m3. Calculate its mass in kg.

4. An object has a mass of 20 000 kg and a density of 4 000 kg/m3. Calculate its volume in m3.

5. The density of air is 1.3 kg /m3. What mass of air is contained in a room measuring 2.5 m x 4 m x 10 m?

6. The density of water is 1 000 kg/m3. A water tank measures 2 m x 4 m x 5 m. What mass of water (in
g) will it contain?

7. A rectangular concrete slab is 0.80 m long, 0.60 m wide and 0.05 m thick.

8. Professor Messer wants to load some bricks into his van. There are 1 000 bricks, and when
stacked neatly they measure 2 m by 1 m by 1 m.

a. What is the volume of the stack? b. What is the volume of one brick?
c. If the density of one brick is 2 500 kg/m3, d. If his van’s maximum load is 1 000 kg,
how
what is the mass of the stack? many bricks can he load?
