How do I find the density? Harold is a woodworker and is interested in finding the density of two different types of wood. He bought a pine log that has a 5-inch radius and is 30 inches long. The weight of the log is approximately 42.63 pounds.

The density of the pine log is 0.2842 pounds per inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the density of an object, you must divide its mass by its volume (radius times height). Thus, given that the pine log that has a 5-inch radius and is 30 inches long, while its weight is approximately 42.63 pounds, the following calculation must be performed to determine its density:

X = 42.63 / (30 x 5)

X = 42.63 / 150

X = 0.2842

Thus, the density of the pine log is 0.2842 pounds per inch.

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
