Question

One component of a metal sculpture consists of a solid cube with an edge length of 0.243m. The alloy used to make the cube has a density of 8430 kg/m³. Find the cube's mass (m).

A) 33.41 kg
B) 0.00288 kg
C) 59.06 kg
D) 1.92 kg

Answer 1

The mass of the cube is 119.82 kg.

To find the mass of the cube, we need to use the formula:

Mass = Density x Volume

Given that the edge length of the cube is 0.243m and the density is 8430 kg/m³, we can calculate the volume of the cube:

Volume = (Edge Length)^3 = (0.243)^3 = 0.01421 m³

Now we can substitute the values into the formula:

Mass = 8430 kg/m³ x 0.01421 m³ = 119.82 kg

Therefore, the mass of the cube is 119.82 kg.
