Calculating Average Density of a Bar

1. What is the average density of the bar based on the given data for trials 1, 2, and 3?

Calculation of Average Density

Data:
  • Trial 1: Height = 6.50 cm, Diameter = 1.25 cm, Mass = 46.83 g
  • Trial 2: Height = 6.45 cm, Diameter = 1.26 cm, Mass = 46.332 g
  • Trial 3: Height = 6.44 cm, Diameter = 1.23 cm, Mass = 47.0141 g

To calculate the average density of the bar, we will use the formula:

Average Density = Mass / Volume

Let's calculate the average density for each trial:

Trial 1:

Mass: 46.83 g Volume: 6.50 cm³

Average Density = 46.83 g / 6.50 cm³ = 7.20 g/cm³

Trial 2:

Mass: 46.332 g Volume: 6.45 cm³

Average Density = 46.332 g / 6.45 cm³ = 7.18 g/cm³

Trial 3:

Mass: 47.0141 g Volume: 6.44 cm³

Average Density = 47.0141 g / 6.44 cm³ = 7.30 g/cm³
