VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
This is Giancoli Answers with Mr. Dychko. Density is mass divided by volume and we know the density of granite in this table [10-1] on page 261 and we can solve for mass by multiplying both sides by V then switch the sides around and you end up with mass equals density times volume. So that's 2.7 times 10 to the 3 kilograms per cubic meter— density of granite— times about 1 times 10 to the 8 cubic meters— volume of this El Capitan rock in Yosemite park— and you get 3 times 10 to the 11 kilograms.
