The correct Answer is:
To find the numerical value of the density of the material in a different system of units, we can use the relationship between the densities in two different unit systems. The formula we will use is: \[ \frac{n_1}{n_2} = \frac{u_1}{u_2} \quad \text{(where } n \text{ is density and } u \text{ is the unit of measurement)} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Density in CGS (System 1): \( n_1 = 2 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \) - Unit of length in System 1: \( u_1 = 1 \, \text{cm} \) - Unit of mass in System 1: \( m_1 = 1 \, \text{g} \) - Unit of length in System 2: \( u_2 = 2 \, \text{cm} \) - Unit of mass in System 2: \( m_2 = 4 \, \text{g} \) 2. **Set Up the Density Conversion Formula:** \[ n_2 = n_1 \cdot \frac{m_1}{m_2} \cdot \left(\frac{u_1}{u_2}\right)^{-3} \] 3. **Substitute the Known Values:** \[ n_2 = 2 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \cdot \frac{1 \, \text{g}}{4 \, \text{g}} \cdot \left(\frac{1 \, \text{cm}}{2 \, \text{cm}}\right)^{-3} \] 4. **Calculate the Mass Ratio:** \[ \frac{1 \, \text{g}}{4 \, \text{g}} = \frac{1}{4} \] 5. **Calculate the Length Ratio:** \[ \left(\frac{1 \, \text{cm}}{2 \, \text{cm}}\right)^{-3} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{-3} = 2^3 = 8 \] 6. **Combine the Results:** \[ n_2 = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \cdot 8 \] 7. **Simplify the Expression:** \[ n_2 = 2 \cdot 2 = 4 \] ### Final Answer: The numerical value of the density of the material in the new system of units is \( n_2 = 4 \, \text{(in the new units)} \). ---
