Density Problems Worksheet
Record all answers on the answer sheet that is provided. For questions that require calculations show
all work. Label all answers with proper units.
Base your answers to questions 1 and 2 on the diagrams below. Objects A and B are solid and made of
the same uniform material. Round all answers to the nearest tenth.
1. What is the volume of object A?
2. If object B has a mass of 173 grams, what
is its density?
3. A sample of another material has the same
volume as object A but it has a density of
4.3 g/cm . What is the mass of the
3
sample?
4. The diagram at the right shows a mineral sample with a mass of
392.0 grams in a beaker of water. If the mineral has a density of
7.0 g/cm , what was the original water level in the beaker?

Base your answers to questions 6 through 8 on the graph below,
which shows the masses and volumes of four different earth
materials at a temperature of 20 C.

5. Which mat erial has the greatest density?
6. If the density of water is 1 g/cm , which material would
3
float on water?
7. What is the mass of sample C if its volume is 3.0 cm ?
3
8. What is the density of sample B?
9. Which sample would displace 8 ml of water if its mass was
20 grams?
10. What would be the effect on the density of sample A if it
was heated to 60 C? Explain your answer.
