A metal rod of density 7000 kgm-3 and cross-sectional area of 0.001257m2 has a mass of 1.76kg. Calculate its length.

A.

0.20m

B.

0.25m

C.

0.40m

D.

0.50m

Correct answer is A

P = \(\frac{M}{AL}\)

L = \(\frac{M}{CA}\)

= \(\frac{1.76}{7000 \times 0.001257}\)

= 0.2m

The density P of a spherical ball of diameter d and mass m is given by

A.

P = \(\frac{3m}{4 \pi d^3}\)

B.

p = 4\(\pi md^3\)

C.

p = \(\frac{6m}{\pi d^3}\)

D.

p = \(\frac{3m}{2 \pi d^3}\)

Correct answer is C

p = \(\frac{M}{V} = \frac{M}{\frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{d}{\pi})^3}\)

= \(\frac{6m}{\pi d^3}\)
