Chapter 1, Problem 1.102QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The density of the metal has to be calculated using the given data and also has to be identify whether the given procedure can be used in general to determine the densities of solids and the assumptions for applying this method has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Density: Density (d) is given by the ratio of mass to volume.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{d}\text{=}\frac{\text{m}}{\text{V}}\\ \text{d}\text{-}\text{density of the substance}\\ \text{ m}\text{-}\text{mass of the substance}\\ \text{V-}\text{volume}\text{occupied by the substance}\end{array}$
