Understanding Density
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It's calculated using the following formula:
* Density (ρ) = Mass (m) / Volume (V)
Calculation
1. Mass: 15.8 grams
2. Volume: 2 cm³
Density = 15.8 grams / 2 cm³ = 7.9 grams/cm³
Answer: The density of the iron block is 7.9 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
