Density of an element is 3.95g/cm^3 Express it in lb / ft^ 3 1lb.=453g 1cm^3 = 1 ml 1 inch = 2.54cm 12 inches = 1 feet Please explain this answer in detail manner ..I keep getting this wrong and want to understand why
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data,

Density of element = 3.95 g/cm3

1 inch = 2.54 cm

Taking cube on both sides, we get

(1 inch)3 = (2.54 cm)3

1 inch3 = 16.387 cm3

Also, 12 inches = 1 feet

Similarly, 1728 inch3 = 1 ft3
