A cube made Of an unknown material has a height of 9 symeters the mass of this cube is 3645 g. calculate the density of this cube given this information

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]5 \frac{g}{cm^{3}}[/tex]

Explanation:

The density [tex]\rho[/tex] of a material is given by:

[tex]\rho=\frac{m}{V}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]m=3645 g[/tex] is the mass of the cube

[tex]V[/tex] is the volume of the cube

Now, the volume of a cube is equal to the length [tex]L[/tex] of its edge to the power of 3:

[tex]V=L^{3}[/tex] (2)

If we know [tex]L=9 cm[/tex], the volume of this cube is:

[tex]V=(9 cm)^{3}=729 cm^{3}[/tex] (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

[tex]\rho=\frac{3645 g}{729 cm^{3}}[/tex] (4)

[tex]\rho=5 \frac{g}{cm^{3}}[/tex] This is the density of the cube
