D. VOLUME
Find the volume in the following exercises.

1.
2. You have a rock with a volume of 15cm3 and a mass of 45 g. What is its density?

3. Rocks are sometimes used along coasts to prevent erosion. If a rock needs to weigh 2,000 kilograms
(about 2 tons) in order not to be shifted by waves, how big (what volume) does it need to be? You are
using basalt, which has a typical density of 3200 kg/m3

4. You decide you want to carry a boulder home from the beach. It is 30 centimeters on each side, and so
has a volume of 27,000 cm3. It is made of granite, which has a typical density of 2.8 g/cm3. How
much will this boulder weigh?
