The mass of a body is 275.32g and its volume `is 36.41cm^(3)`. Express its density up to appropriate significant figures.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There are 3 significant figures in the measured mass whereas there are only 2 significant figures in the measured volume. Hence the density should be expressed to only 2 significant figures.
Density =` (5.74)/(1.2) gcm^(-3)`
`=4.8 g cm^(-3)`.
