A rock sample has a measured density of 2.65gcm−3. A geology laboratory wishes to catalog all densities in SI base units.
Answer the following questions.
(a) Calculate the density of the rock in kgm−3, showing all conversion steps.
(b) A block cut from the same rock has a volume of 0.015m3. Determine the mass of this block in kilograms.
(c) Verify that the units in your final answer to part (b) are dimensionally consistent with mass.
