Understanding Density
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It's calculated using the formula:
* Density (D) = Mass (M) / Volume (V)
Calculations
1. Convert units:
* Since density is usually expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), we need to convert the mass from grams (g) to kilograms (kg).
* 956 g = 0.956 kg
2. Apply the formula:
* D = 0.956 kg / 50 cm³
* D = 0.01912 kg/cm³
Answer
The density of the object is 0.01912 kg/cm³.
