Answer

$\rho = 1300~kg/m^3$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the mass of the sphere is $~~1.2~kg$ We can find the volume of the material used to make the sphere: $V = \frac{4}{3}~\pi~r_2^3-\frac{4}{3}~\pi~r_1^3$ $V = \frac{4}{3}~\pi~(r_2^3-r_1^3)$ $V = \frac{4}{3}~\pi~[((0.090~m)^3-(0.080~m)^3]$ $V = 0.000909~m^3$ We can find the density: $\rho = \frac{m}{V}$ $\rho = \frac{1.2~kg}{0.000909~m^3}$ $\rho = 1300~kg/m^3$
