Part 3 – Calculate the density of substances

In your words describe density. How does density affect the buoyancy of an object
in water? Write the formula to calculate the density of an object. What are the units
of measurement for density?

Calculation:
Mahogany is a heavy wood. A block(cube) of mahogany wood has a mass of 150
grams and the cube has the following dimensions: length=5cm, width=5cm and
height=5cm.

Draw this block mahogany wood and label the dimensions.
