1. What is the formula for Density?
D=
2.
For the masses and volumes indicated, calculate the density in grams per cubic
centimeters.
a.
Mass = 489g
Volume = 600cm

A block of wood has a mass of 429g. It is 14cm long, 5cm wide and 9cm high. What is its
volume and density?
V=
D=
4.
Use the water displacement method to determine the density of an irregular shaped
object. The initial water level in the graduated cylinder was 50ml and the final water level
after placing the object in water was 64ml. The mass of the solid object was 84g.
