Calculate the density of a metal cube which has 3 cm sides, given that its mass is 428 grams. Convert your answer into kg/m3. Will this cube float on the surface of a liquid of density 1.7 g/cm3? Explain why or why not.

Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cube is 27 cm^3

Since [tex]density = \dfrac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

density  = [tex]\dfrac{428 g}{27 cm^3} = 15.85 g/cm^3 > 1.7g/cm^3[/tex]

this will not float on the surface of the liquid.

Convert into kg/m^3

[tex]15.85 g/cm^3 = 15850 kg/m^3[/tex]
