Answer

m = 2.13 x $10^{3}$ g

Work Step by Step

First we have to find the volume of the sphere and after that we find the mass. $V_{sphere}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$ π $r^{3}$ radius is 1.58 in, or converted to cm it will be: 1.58 in = 1.58 in x $\frac{2.54 (cm)}{1 in}$ 1.58 in = 4.01 cm $V_{sphere}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$x 3.14 x$(4.01cm)^{3}$ $V_{sphere}$ = 270.61 $cm^{3}$ Now we find the mass: m = d x V m = 7.88 $\frac{g}{cm^3}$ x 270.61 $cm^{3}$ m = 2,133 g or m = 2.13 x $10^{3}$ g
