Answer
V = m / ρ = 5250 kg / 750 kg/m^3 = 7.00 m^3
Explanation
In this question, you're being asked to calculate the volume of a block of wood, given its mass and the density of the wood. You can do this by using the formula for density, which is:Density = Mass / Volume. By rearranging this equation and solving for the mass, you can find:Volume = Mass / Density. Substituting the given values:Mass = 5250 KgDensity = 750
. So, the catches over here is that the density provided by the footnotes, whose English is a bit garbled but probably refers to material density or more specifically, the characteristic density of the wood, we usually know this value from experiments.
