Calculating Average Density of a Bar
Calculation of Average Density
- 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:
Let's calculate the average density for each trial:
Trial 1:
Mass: 46.83 g Volume: 6.50 cm³Average Density = 46.83 g / 6.50 cm³ = 7.20 g/cm³
Trial 2:
Mass: 46.332 g Volume: 6.45 cm³Average Density = 46.332 g / 6.45 cm³ = 7.18 g/cm³
Trial 3:
Mass: 47.0141 g Volume: 6.44 cm³Average Density = 47.0141 g / 6.44 cm³ = 7.30 g/cm³
