Short-Answer Questions

1. Define volume. Write its SI unit.

Answer- Volume of an object is the space occupied by it. It's S.I unit is m³.


2. What is meant by the density of a body? Write the SI unit of density.

Answer- The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. The S.I unit of Density is kg/ m³.


3. What is the relative density of a substance? What is its SI unit? 

Answer- The relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to that of water. It's has no unit.


4. What is the weight of a body? What is the SI unit of weight?

Answer- The weight of a body is the force with which it is attracted by gravity. S.I unit of Weight is newton (N).

5. What is the relation between mass and weight?

Answer- Weight = constant x mass


6. What is the relative density of water?

Answer- Relative density of water is 1.


Long-Answer Questions:

1. Draw an irregular shape on a graph paper and explain how you would calculate its area.

Answer- Irregular shape is placed on the graph paper and outline is drawn.

Calculate-


The number of complete squares within the outline = 17

The number of squares with half or more within the outline = 14

The total number of squares = 31

The area of each square = 1 cm³

The area of the irregular shape =  31 cm³


2. How would you measure the volume of an irregular solid?

AnswerWe need a measuring cylinder, a small stone which can move easily inside the cylinder, some string and water. Take some water in the cylinder, as in Figure . Read the level of water on the scale marked on the wall of the cylinder. Then tie the string around the stone, and lower it gently into the water till it is completely submerged, as in Figure . Read the level of water again. The difference between the two readings gives the volume of the stone. For the Case shown in Figure 



The initial reading = 20 ml

The final reading = 24 ml

The volumeof the stone= 24 ml- 20 ml 

                                        = 4 ml = 4 cm³


3. How would you determine the density of a cube?

Answer- To determine the density of a cube , we need to find out mass of the cube using physical balance  and volume by using formula. 

Density of a cubex= Mass of a cube ÷ Volume of a cube.


4. Distinguish between the density and relative density of a substance.

Answer- The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume.  The S.I unit of Density is kg/ m³ 
The relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to that of water. It's has no unit.

Numericals:

1. Find the mass of an ice cube of edge 2 cm. The density of ice is 9000 kg/m³.

Answer-

Density = 9000 kg/ m³ = 9 g/ cm³

Volume = 2x2x2 = 8 cm³

Density = Mass ÷ Volume 

Mass   = Density x Volume

            = 9 g/ cm³ x 8 cm³ = 72 g


2. A beaker weighs 120 g when empty and 200 g when filled with kerosene. Find the volume of the beaker. The density of kerosene is 800 kg/m³.

Answer

Density =  800 kg / m³ = 0.8 g/ cm³

Mass of kerosene = 200 g - 120 g = 80 g

 Volume = Mass ÷ Density 

             = 80 g ÷ 0.8 g/ cm³ = 100 cm³


3. A metal ball weighs 1.8 kg. The volume of the ball is 250 cc. Find the density of the metal

Answer

Given Mass = 1.8 kg = 1800 g

              Volume = 250 cm³

Density = Mass ÷ Volume 

              = 1800 g ÷ 250 cm³

.           = 7. 2 g / cm³ = 7200 kg / m³


4. A metallic object of irregular shape displaces 21 mL of water when it is immersed in a measuring cylinder containing water. If its mass is 56.7 g, what is the density of the metal?

Answers:

Volume of metal = 21 ml = 21 cm³

Mass = 56.7 g 

Density = Mass ÷ Volume 

.         = 56.7 g ÷ 21 cm³

         = 2.7 g/ cm³
