Question

what is the mass of copper sphere with radius of 1 in? Express this quantity in units of gram. The specific gravity of copper is 8.95.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The density of the copper sphere is the ratio of the mass of the sphere to the volume of the sphere such that:

$ρ = \frac{m}{V} . . . . . . .
