The data in the following table represent measurements of the masses and dimensions of solid cylinders of aluminum, copper, brass, tin, and iron. (a) Use these data to calculate the densities of these substances. (b) State how your results compare with those given in Table 14.1.
Give an example in which density is used to identify the substance composing an object. Would information in addition to average density be needed to identify the substances in an object composed of more than one material?
Scurrilous con artists have been known to represent gold-plated tungsten ingots as pure gold and sell them to the greedy at prices much below gold value but deservedly far above the cost of tungsten. With what accuracy must you be able to measure the mass of such an ingot in and out of water to tell that it is almost pure tungsten rather than pure gold?

Need Help: It is known that a cubical object made of cast aluminum 0.213 m on a side contains a hollow cavity also in the shape of a cube but of unknown dimensions. If the mass of the object is 22.8 kg, determine the length of each side of the interior cubical cavity. The density of aluminum is 2.70 103 kg/m3. Given Tip: How is the volume of the cubical object related to the volume of aluminum in the object and the volume of the cubical cavity? How is the mass of the cubical object related to the mass of aluminum in the object? Recall how the volume of a cube is related to the length of each side of the cube.
10.0 m^3 of oil is spilled into a body of water. What is the surface area of the resulting oil slick, assuming the oil molecules all float on top of the water, lining up right next to each other so that the slick is one-molecule thick, and each oil molecule occupies the space of a cube 0.45 um on each side?
The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3. Since 1 kg = 1000 g and 100 cm = 1 m, then the proper way to convert this to kg/m3 is
