Answer to Question #184953 in Civil and Environmental Engineering for John Prats

Question

Find the volume of copper ball which has a mass of 400g if the specific gravity of copper is 8.9

Answer 1

Specific gravity=ρ Copper/ρ Water at 4^oC

ρ Copper=(Specific gravity)(ρ Water at 4^oC)

ρ Water at 4^oC= 1g/ml

ρ Copper=(8.9)(1g/ml)

ρ Copper=8.9g/ml

V=mass/density

V=400g/8.9g/m/

V=44.944ml
