A small metal cube measures 2.5 cm on one side. The mass of the cube is 1129.56 g. What is the density of the cube?

-- volume = (length)(width)(height)

-- Since the cube is a cube, its three dimensions are all the same number.

Volume = (2.5cm)(2.5cm)(2.5cm)

Volume = 15.625 cubic cm

-- density = (mass) / (volume)

Density = (1129.56g) / (15.625cm^3)

Density = 72.3 g/cm^3

(roughly 3.2 TIMES the density of the most dense naturally occurring substance on Earth)
