Question

The length of the side of a cube having a density of 12.6 g/ml and a mass of 7.65 g is __________ cm.

Answer 1

Density is the characteristic property of a substance.  It is the measure of mass of the substance divided by its volume (density= mass/volume). Manipulate the given formula to come up with the formula for the volume. Therefore, volume is equals to mass of a substance divided by its density (Vol= mass/density). Given 12.6 g/ml as density and 7.65 g mass, volume is equals to 0.60714 ml, since 1 ml = 1cm^3, volume is equals to 0.60714 cm^3 then extract the cube root of the volume to get the length of the cube in cm which is equal to 0.84677 cm.
