A student is given the following question:"What is the mass of a gold bar that is 7.379 × 10–4 m3 in volume? The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3."The student obtains the answer through the following calculation:
For the above calculation, how many significant figures should you report the answer to?
The mass of fuel in a jet must be calculated before each flight to ensure that the jet is not too heavy to fly. A 747 is fueled with 173,231 L of jet fuel. If the density of the fuel is 0.768 g/cm3, what is the mass of the fuel in kilograms?
In determining the density of a rectangular metal bar,a student made the following measurements: length,8.53 cm; width, 2.4 cm; height, 1.0 cm; mass, 52.7064 g.Calculate the density of the metal to the correct numberof significant figures.
