What examiners said
The majority of candidates first calculated the volume of the glass block using the measurements given in Fig. 12.3 and then used this volume together with the density of glass to calculate the mass.
— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 0973/41 Q12(c) (Cambridge)
As many candidates used volume = mass × density as used volume = mass ÷ density. Many were also confused by the powers of ten involved in the calculation.
— Examiner report, May/June 2023, 0973/31 Q12(a) (Cambridge)
The vast majority of responses stated the correct formula for density and were able to calculate the value correctly.
