Question:

To determine the approximate mass of a small spherical shot of copper, the following experiment is performed. When 125 pieces of the shot are counted out and added to 8.4 mL of water in a graduated cylinder, the total volume becomes 8.9 mL. The density of copper is 8.92 g/cm3. Determine the approximate mass of a single piece of shot, assuming that all of the pieces are of the same dimensions.
