A block is in the shape of a cube with side 10 cm. What is the density of the block?
one has to know the mass of the block.
LOL, I bet it is one kilogram :)
so it's a water cube?
ice has too low a density
Oh, ice floats? :)
Damon is definitely correct. Mass should be 1kg here.
To find the density of the block, we need to know its mass and volume.
To determine the mass of the block, we need to know the material it is made of. Let's assume it's made of a material with a density of ρ.
The formula for density (ρ) is:
Density = Mass / Volume
Since the block is in the shape of a cube, each side has a length of 10 cm. The volume of a cube is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself twice. Thus, the volume of the block is 10 cm * 10 cm * 10 cm = 1000 cm^3.
We can then rewrite the density formula as:
Density = Mass / 1000 cm^3
To find the mass, you need information about the block's material or its physical properties. Once you have the mass, you can substitute it into the equation to calculate the density.
