Question
Vanadium metal is added to steel to impart strength. The density of vanadium is $5.96 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$. Express this in SI units $\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)$
Step 1
There are 1000 grams in a kilogram, so we divide the density by 1000: $5.96 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{~kg}}{1000 \mathrm{~g}} = 0.00596 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ Show more…
