A student finds that a piece of metal has a mass of 12.54g. When the metal is placed inside a flask that has a volume of 25.00mL, the student finds that 20.54g of water is required to finish filling the flask with the metal in it. If the density of water is 0.9970g/cm³, what is the density of the metal?

In 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun, but occupying less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of 8×103 suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is its density in grams per cubic centimeter? The mass of the sun is 2.0×1030kg and the radius of the moon is 2.16×103mi. (Volume of a sphere =43πr3.)
