Interpretation : The problem has to be reworked by applying the equation.
Concept Introduction : The connectivity between mass and volume is density. The formula of density is given as:
Answer to Problem 44SP
The volume of boron is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The density of boron is
The mass of boron is
Density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume. It gives the connectivity between mass and volume.
The formula of density is given as:
Since the mass and density of boron are given, the volume has to be calculated.
Rewrite the density formula to isolate the volume term.
To calculate the volume, substitute the values in above formula:
The volume of boron is

An effective approach for resolving conversion problems where measurement in one unit is changed to an equivalent measurement in another is dimensional analysis.
Density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume. It gives the connectivity between mass and volume.
The formula of density is given as:
Since the mass and density of mercury are given, the volume has to be calculated.
Rewrite the density formula to isolate the volume term.
To calculate the volume, substitute the values in the above formula:
The volume of mercury is
