Feeling of Weight.

When walking, you feel the weight on your feet, therefore, your brain automatically refers to it as a source of weight.

Since the density is given as 8 gm/cm^3 and the mass is given as 600 grams, therefore, all we need to do is substitute in the equation to get the value of the volume as follows:
8 = 600 / volume
volume = 600 / 8 = 75 cm^3
