A student is determining the density of an unknown metal with a mass of 87.8 g. The student partially fills a graduated cylinder with water and measures the volume of the water by itself as 54.8 mL. The student then adds the metal to the water and measures the new volume as 87.3 mL. What is the density, in g/mL, 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.)
