Chapter 1, Problem 1.12P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The density of a metal cube in ${\text{g/cm}}^{\text{3}}$ with a mass of $50.3\text{g}$ and an edge length of $2.65\text{cm}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The density of a substance is defined as the relationship between the mass and volume occupied by a substance. The size of atoms, their mass and arrangement determine the density of a substance. Density is calculated by the formula,

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$

To determine: The density of a metal cube in ${\text{g/cm}}^{\text{3}}$ with a mass of $50.3\text{g}$ and an edge length of $2.65\text{cm}$ .
