Question:

A standard {eq}1 {/eq} kilogram weight is a cylinder {eq}48.5 \ mm {/eq} in height and {eq}52.0 \ mm {/eq} in diameter.

What is the density of the material?

Density

If an object is denser then it means that the atoms of the material are more closely packed to each other than a material with less density. Density is defined mathematically as : {eq}\text{Density} = \dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} {/eq}

Given:

  • Diameter of the cylinder = {eq}d = 52 \ mm = 0.052\ m {/eq}
  • Height of cylinder = {eq}h = 48.5 \ mm = 0.0485 \ m {/eq}

Mass of the cylinder...
