Question

A titanium bicycle frame displaces 0.314 L of water and has a mass of 1.41 kg. What is the density of titanium in g/cm^3?

Answer 1

I think this is part of Archimedes' Principle, but if the object displaces 0.314 liters of water, the volume of the object is 0.314 liters.
We have that. They want the density in g/cm^3
We need to convert the volume from liters to cubic centimeters, and the mass from kilograms to grams.

Answer 2

So, 314 cm^3. and 1,410g?

Answer 3

I'm sorry?

Answer 4

Sorry, I went out. :3
Yeah, that is correct.
Since density is in units g/cm^3, you divide the volume by the mass.
\[\rho = \frac{mass}{Volume}\]

Answer 5

Oh okay, thank you!
