Question

A wooden cube of mahogany has a side length of 8 cm and a mass of 400 g. What is the density of the cube? Enter your answer in the box. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Density is a property of a material which describes the mass of a material per unit volume. It can be calculated by dividing the mass of the object with its volume. We calculate as follows:

Density = mass / volume = 400 / (8^3) = 0.78125 g/cm^3
