Different kinds of wood have different densities. the density of american white oak wood is generally 0.77 g/cm3. if jim grabs a 38.5 cm3 piece of wood out of his pile of materials, what would the mass be if that pile was all american white oak?

m= 29.645 g

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

density of wood = 0.77 g/cm³

volume= 38.5 cm³

mass= ?

Solution:

d= m/v

m= d × v

m= 0.77 g/cm³× 38.5 cm³

m= 29.645 g
