A student is measuring different properties of a cube. The cube has equal sides, each measuring 3 centimeters. The cube has a mass of 9 kilograms. What is the density of the cube?

Answer 1

Density = mass/volume. The volume of the cube = 3cm x 3cm x 3cm = 27 cm³. The mass is given as 9 kg. Therefor, the density of the material that the cube is made from = 9kg/27 cm³. This may also be expressed as 0.33kg/cm3, or 330grams/cm³.
