Learn how to calculate the mass of a silver ring using volume and density in a fun and easy way. Perfect for beginners!
Let's imagine the silver ring is like a Lego block. The volume of the ring tells us how much space that Lego block takes up, like how many Legos you need to build a tower. For our ring, the volume is 1.05 cubic centimeters, so it's like having a little box that can hold 1.05 tiny cubes inside.
Now, let's talk about density. Density is like how heavy or light something feels compared to its size. The density of the silver ring is 9.40 grams per cubic centimeter, so it's like each tiny cube in our box is pretty heavy.
To find the weight (mass) of our ring, we can use a simple formula: mass = volume x density. It's like a magic math spell! We multiply the volume (1.05 cubic centimeters) by the density (9.40 grams per cubic centimeter) to get the mass.
So, mass = 1.05 cubic centimeters x 9.40 grams per cubic centimeter = 9.87 grams. That's our answer, and we write it to the hundredths place as 9.87 grams. It's like saying the ring is as heavy as a small apple!
Remember, this is just a fun way to understand how we calculated the weight of the silver ring using its volume and density. It's like solving a puzzle to find out how heavy it is. I hope this explanation makes it easier to understand!
