The correct Answer is:
To find the weight of the solid rectangular piece of iron, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert all measurements to the same unit The dimensions of the piece of iron are given as: - Length = 1.05 m - Width = 70 cm - Height = 1.5 cm First, we convert the length from meters to centimeters: 1.05 m = 1.05 × 100 cm = 105 cm Now, we have: - Length = 105 cm - Width = 70 cm - Height = 1.5 cm ### Step 2: Calculate the volume of the rectangular piece The formula for the volume \( V \) of a rectangular solid is given by: \[ V = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \] Substituting the values: \[ V = 105 \, \text{cm} \times 70 \, \text{cm} \times 1.5 \, \text{cm} \] Calculating the volume: \[ V = 105 \times 70 = 7350 \, \text{cm}^2 \] \[ V = 7350 \times 1.5 = 11025 \, \text{cm}^3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the weight of the piece of iron We know that 1 cm³ of iron weighs 8 grams. Therefore, the weight \( W \) can be calculated as: \[ W = V \times \text{Weight per cm}^3 \] \[ W = 11025 \, \text{cm}^3 \times 8 \, \text{grams/cm}^3 \] Calculating the weight: \[ W = 11025 \times 8 = 88200 \, \text{grams} \] ### Step 4: Convert the weight from grams to kilograms Since 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, we convert the weight to kilograms: \[ W = \frac{88200 \, \text{grams}}{1000} = 88.2 \, \text{kg} \] ### Final Answer The weight of the piece of iron is **88.2 kg**. ---
