Keep in mind that we may not be given the mass and volume directly, or the values may not be given in the units we want and we need to convert to the correct units before solving for density. When converting between metric units, use the prefixes to help you determine the magnitude of a value. The prefix k indicates kilo, 1000. Therefore 1000 g = 1 kg. A 17.0 kg iron weightlifting plate has a volume of 2160 cm³ . What is the density of the iron plate in g/cm³? Express your answer in grams per cubic centimeter to three significant figures. • View Available Hint(s) Hνα ΑΣφ ? density of iron plate = g/cm3arrow_forward
