Suppose you have one cubic meter of gold, two cubic meters of silver, and six cubic meters ofaluminum. Rank them by mass, from smallest to largest. 5 pointsρ of gold = 19.3 x 103 kg/m3ρ of silver = 10.5 x 103 kg/m3ρ of aluminum = 2.7 x 103 kg/m3
When equal masses of two substances are mixed, the resultant density is 2.5 g/cm^3. When equal volumes are mixed, the resultant density is 4.5 g/cm^3. What are the densities of the two substances?
If you have built a raft out of 8 logs, each with a diameter of 30 centimeters, length of 2 meters, and mass of 65 Kilograms. What is the total mass, volume, and density of the raft?
