A material will float on the surface of a liquid if the material has a density less than that of the liquid. Given that the density of water is approximately 1.0 g/mL under many conditions, will a block of material having a volume of \(1.2 \times 10^{4}\) in. \(^{3}\) and weighing 3.5 lb float or sink when placed in a reservoir of water?
The density of pure silver is \(10.5 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\) at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .\) If \(5.25 \mathrm{g}\) of pure silver pellets is added to a graduated cylinder containing \(11.2 \mathrm{mL}\) of water, to what volume level will the water in the cylinder rise?
A sample containing \(33.42 \mathrm{g}\) of metal pellets is poured into a graduated cylinder initially containing 12.7 mL of water, causing the water level in the cylinder to rise to \(21.6 \mathrm{mL}\). Calculate the density of the metal.
The most common units for density are _______.
Evaluate each of the following, and write the answer to the appropriate number of significant figures. a. \(\left(2.9932 \times 10^{4}\right)\left[2.4443 \times 10^{2}+1.0032 \times 10^{1}\right]\) b. \(\left[2.34 \times 10^{2}+2.443 \times 10^{-1}\right] /(0.0323)\) c. \(\left(4.38 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2}\) d. \(\left(5.9938 \times 10^{-6}\right)^{1 / 2}\)
