You drop an irregular piece of metal into a container partially filled with water and measure that the water level rises 4.8 centimeters. The square base of the container has a side length of 8 centimeters. You measure the mass of the metal to be 450 grams. What is the density of the metal?

Density = 1464.8kg/m3

the density of the metal is 1464.8kg/m^3

Explanation:

Given;

Mass m = 450g

Density = Mass/Volume = m/V

Volume V = change in height × base area = ∆h × A

∆h = 4.8cm

A = 8×8 = 64cm^2

V = 4.8×64 = 307.2cm^3

Density = 450g/307.2cm^3

Density = 1.4648g/cm^3

Density = 1.4648 × 1000kg/m^3

Density = 1464.8kg/m3

the density of the metal is 1464.8kg/m^3
