A. 0.375 kg/m3\text{A. } 0.375 \text{ kg/m}^3

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Identify the given values.

    The problem states that a piece of stone "weighs 15kg". In physics, "weight" is a force, but when given in kilograms, it refers to the mass of the object. The volume is given as 40 m340 \text{ m}^3.
    Mass (mm) = 15 kg15 \text{ kg}
    Volume (VV) = 40 m340 \text{ m}^3

  2. Recall the formula for density.

    Density (ρ\rho) is defined as mass per unit volume.

    ρ=mV\rho = \frac{m}{V}
  3. Substitute the given values into the density formula and calculate.

    ρ=15 kg40 m3\rho = \frac{15 \text{ kg}}{40 \text{ m}^3} ρ=0.375 kg/m3\rho = 0.375 \text{ kg/m}^3
  4. Compare the calculated density with the given options.

    The calculated density is 0.375 kg/m30.375 \text{ kg/m}^3, which matches option A.

    The final answer is A. 0.375 kg/m3\text{A. } 0.375 \text{ kg/m}^3.
