Question

A machine shop worker records the mass of an aluminum cube as 176 g. If one side of the cube measures 4 cm, what is the density of the aluminum?

Answer 1

`"Density"` `=` `"Mass"/"Volume"`, so........

Explanation:

So we take the given quotient:

`rho=(176*g)/(4*cmxx4*cmxx4*cm)` `=` `(176*g)/(64*cm^3)` `=` `??g*cm^-3`.

Would the cube float or sink in water? Why?
