Question
A steel sphere has a radius of 1.58 in. If this steel has a density of $7.88 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3},$ what is the mass of the sphere in grams?
Step 1
We know that 1 inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters. Therefore, the radius of the sphere in centimeters is given by: \[ r = 1.58 \, \text{in} \times 2.54 \, \text{cm/in} = 4.01 \, \text{cm} \] Show more…
