Considering the definition of density, the density of the old coin is 8.92 [tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex].
It is neccesary to know that density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.
In other words, Density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance, that is, density is the relationship between the mass of a substance and the volume it occupies.
Mathematically, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:
[tex]density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
In this case, you know:
- mass= 26.76 g
- volume= 3 cm³
Replacing in the definition of density:
[tex]density=\frac{26.76g}{3cm^{3} }[/tex]
Solving:
density= 8.92 [tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex]
The density of the old coin is 8.92 [tex]\frac{g}{cm^{3} }[/tex].
