1. A solid ball has a mass of 50 grams and a volume of 20 cm3. What is the density?
(Answer: 2.5 g/cm3)
2. A solid ball has a mass of 100 grams and a radius of 2 cm. What is the density?
(Answer: 2.98 g/cm3)
3. A solid cylinder has a radius of 2 cm and a length of 7 cm. It has a density of 3.1 g/cm3.
What is the mass of the cylinder? (Answer: 272.69 grams)
4. Seawater contains approximately 3.5% salt by weight. How much seawater (in kg)
contains 1 kg of salt? If the density of seawater is 1030 kg/m3, what is the volume of
seawater, in liters, containing 1 kg of salt? (Answer: 28.57 kg, 27.74 L)
5. A solid cylinder of length 10 cm is placed in water. It stands upright with the top 3 cm
protruding above the water surface. The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. What is the
density of the cylinder? (Answer The density is 0.7 g/cm3.)
6. The density of two liquids (A and B) is given as 1000 kg/m3 and 600 kg/m3, respectively.
The two liquids are mixed in a certain proportion and the density of the resulting liquid is
850 kg/m3. How much of liquid B (in grams) does 1 kg of the mixture contain? Assume
the volume of the two liquids is additive when mixed. (Answer 264.7 g)
7. In a mixture of 100 g, two liquids are mixed in ratio 1:3 of their masses. If densities of liquids are
1.25 g/cm3 and 0.6g/cm3, find the density of mixture. (Ans 0.68g/cm 3)
