Solution
Given , Mass M = 252 g
Volume V = 30 `"cm" ^3`
(i) Density d = `"M"/"V"` = `252/(30 "cm"^3)`
= 8.4 g `"cm" ^-3`
(ii) since , M = 252 g = 0.252 kg
v = 30 `"cm"^3` = 30 × `10 ^-6 "m"^3`
Density d = `(0.252 "kg" )/(30 × 10^-6 "m"^3)`
= `(0.252 kg )/(30× 1/1000000 m^3)`
=`(0.252 × 1000000 "kg" )/ (30 "m"^3)`
= `25200/ 3 "kg m"^-3`
= 8400 kg `"m"^-3`
