Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. Its mass is 20 grams, and its density is 7.87 g/cm3. What’s the larger cube’s volume?

Respuesta :

Density = mass/volume, volume = mass/density.
Since the mass of the small cube equals 20 and the mass of the large cube is double it would be 40.
Now plug in volume = 40 g/(7.87 g/cm^3).
Thus giving you a volume 5.08 cm^3

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the smaller cube, [tex]m_s=20\ g[/tex]

The density of the smaller cube, [tex]d_s=7.87 \ g/cm^3[/tex]

The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube.

To find,

The volume of the larger cube.

Solution,

As the mass of the larger cube is twice the mass of the smaller cube. As both cubes are made up of iron. So, the density remains the same.

We know that,

Density, [tex]d=\dfrac{m}{V}[/tex]

Where

m is mass and V is volume

[tex]V_l=\dfrac{m_l}{d}\\\\V_l=\dfrac{2m_s}{d}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]V_l=\dfrac{2\times 20\ g}{7.87\ g/cm^3}\\\\V_l=5.08\ cm^3[/tex]

Answer,

The volume of the larger cube is [tex]5.08\ cm^3[/tex].
