Figure 1 shows some water in a measuring cylinder next to a solid zinc block.

A measuring cylinder with a scale in cm³. The water level is shown at 150 cm³. A solid zinc block is shown next to it.

The zinc block is lowered fully into the water.

The water level in the measuring cylinder rises from 150 cm³ to 215 cm³.

The density of zinc is 7.1 g/cm³.

Calculate the mass of the zinc block.

Use the equation:

\text{density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}

Give your answer to 2 significant figures.
