A wooden cube has a mass of 59.3 g and an edge length of 4.30 cm. What is its density in g/cm^3?

• A. 2.10 g/cm^3
• B. 0.75 g/cm^3
• C. 0.32 g/cm^3
• D. 1.28 g/cm^3

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given quantities: mass (m) = 59.3 g and edge length (l) = 4.30 cm.
2. Calculate the volume (V) of the wooden cube using the formula for the volume of a cube: \(V = l^3 = (4.30\, \text{cm})^3\).
3. Use the density formula, which relates mass and volume: \(\text{density} = \frac{m}{V}\).
4. Substitute the known values of mass and volume into the density formula: \(\text{density} = \frac{59.3\, \text{g}}{(4.30\, \text{cm})^3}\).
5. Perform the division to find the density in units of g/cm\(^3\).
