Question

A cubic piece of metal measures 5.00 cm on each edge. if the metal is nickel, whose density is 8.90g/cm 3 , what is the mass of the cube?

Answers

  1. The mass of cubic nickel piece has been 1112.5 kg.
    According to the statement
    we have given that the A cubic piece of metal measures 5.00 cm on each edge. if the metal is nickel, whose density is 8.90g/cm^3.
    And we have to find the mass of the cube.
    So, For this purpose, we know that the
    Cube is a regular solid with six square faces.
    The mass and the volume of the cube is
    V = a^3
    Where the edge length of the cubic nickel metal has been, a = 5.00cm
    Substituting the value for the volume (V) of nickel cube:
    V = (5)^3
    V = 125 cm^3
    And
    The volume of cubic metal piece has been found to be 125 cm^3.
    And
    The density has been defined as mass of the substance, per unit volume. The density can be expressed as:
    d = m/v
    The density of a given sample, is 8.90 g/cm^3
    The volume of the given sample, is 125 cm^3.
    So,
    mass = density* volume
    mass = 8.90*125
    Mass = 1112.5 kg
    So, The mass of cubic nickel piece has been 1112.5 kg.
