Question 12
FA student is given a rectangular metal block.
The Figure shows the dimensions of the block.
Figure
The mass of the block is 316 g.
The Table gives the densities of some metals.
Table
| Metal | Density in g/cm3\text{g/cm}^{3}g/cm3 |
|---|---|
| aluminium | 2.7 |
| zinc | 7.1 |
| iron | 7.9 |
| copper | 8.9 |
a.[1]
