Question

One component of a metal sculpture consists of a solid cube with an edge of length 38.9 cm. The alloy used to make the cube has a density of 7.15 x10^3 kg/m3. Find the cube's mass.

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of the cube is 420.8 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of edge = 38.9 cm

Density $\rho= 7.15 \times10^{3}\ kg/m^3$

We need to calculate the volume of cube

Using formula of volume

$V = 38.9^3$

$V=0.058863\ m^3$

We need to calculate the mass of the cube

Using formula of density

$\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}$

$m = V\times\rho$

$m =0.058863\times7.15 \times10^{3}$

$m=420.8\ kg$

Hence, The mass of the cube is 420.8 kg.
