Different kinds of wood have different densities. The density of american white oak wood is generally 0.77 g/cm3. If Jim grabs a 38.5 cm3 piece of wood out of his pile of materials, what would the mass be if that pile was all american white oak?

m = 29.645 g

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL, kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D = density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given dа ta:

density of wood = 0.77 g/cm³

volume = 38.5 cm³

mass=?

Solution:

d = m/v

m = d * v

m = 0.77 g/cm³ * 38.5 cm³

m = 29.645 g
