What is the mass of a graphite cube whose edge length is 7.25*cm7.25cm, and for which rho_"graphite"=2.76*g*cm^-3ρgraphite=2.76gcm3?

"Mass"=350*gMass=350g

Explanation:

By definition...rho_"density"="mass"/"volume"ρdensity=massvolume.

And CLEARLY to get the "mass"mass we take the product...rho_"density"xx"volume"ρdensity×volume... And so....

"mass"=underbrace(2.76*g*cm^-3)_"density"xxunderbrace(3.50*cmxx5.00*cmxx7.25*cm)_"volume of granite block in cubic centimetres"=??*g..

Is this product dimensionally consistent...?
