Given:
A metal cube measures 2-centimeters on each side the mass of the cube is 72 grams
Determine the density of the cube.
Formula for the volume of the cube:
V = l^3
Formula for density
d = m/V
Solution:
Solve first for the volume of the cube.
V = (2 cm)^3
V = 8 cm^3
Substitute the value of the volume of the cube to the formula for the density.
d = m/V
d = 72 grams/8 cm^3
d = 9 g/cm^3
Final answer:
The density of the cube is 9 g/cm^3.
