Question

A cube is 17.35 cm on each side and has a density of 1.20 g/cm3. Using the formula, volume = (length of a side)3, determine the mass of the cube in grams.

Answer 1

So

We are given

Side of the cube = 17.35

Density of the cube = 1.20 g/cm^3

We know that

Density = Mass /Volume

Also given ,

Volume can be found out by using the formula ,

Volume = (length)^3

So now volume of the required cube = (17.35)^3 = 5222.74 cm^3

Also ,

From the relation ,

Density = mass /volume

Mass can be obtained as M = Density x Volume

So now,

Mass of the required cube = 5222.74 x 1.20 = 6267.28 grams
