Question

A sugar cube has a mass of 11.2 g. Each side is 2 cm long.

What is the density of the sugar cube? Hint: Find the volume of the cube first.



A. 5.6 g/cm3

B. 1.4 g/cm3

C. 8 cm


D. 4 g/cm3

Answer 1

Answer: Option: B

The density of the sugar cube is
`1.4 \ grams/cm^3.`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The given Mass of the sugar cube is =
`11.2 g`

The given each Side of the sugar cube is =
`2 cm`

Then the volume of the sugar cube is =
`(length \ of\ the \ side\ of\ the\ cube)^3`

`= (2)^3=8 cm^3`

The required Density of the sugar cube is given by =
`(mass)/(volume)`

Then the required density of the sugar cube is=
`\frac {11.2}{8}`

Therefore the required density of the sugar cube is =
`1.4 \ grams/cm^3.`
