Chapter 1, Problem 1.167QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of Ice has to be estimated.

Concept Introduction:

The length to the power three is known as volume.  The SI unit of volume is ${\text{(m}}^{\text{3}}\text{)}$ cubic meter.  If we know the dimension of object then we can calculate the volume of the same.

Mass per unit volume of an object is called “density”.  It can be expressed as,

$\text{d = }\frac{\text{m}}{\text{v}}$

Here,

d is density of an object,

m is mass of an object

v is volume

Density is an important physical property of a material.  The SI unit of density for solid is “ ${\text{kg/m}}^{\text{3}}$”.
