    Start with the mass divided by the volume, then convert the units to ones you like.

    .171 kg/(.0393 m)3 = (.171 kg)(1000 g/kg)/((.0393 m)(100 cm/m))3
    = 171 g/(39.3 cm)3 = 171/60,698 g/cm3 = .00282 g/((cm3)(1 ml/1 cm3))
    = .00282 g/ml

      Density of a substance is defined as D=M/V or mass/volume and is calculated as follows:

      the volume of the cube is obtained by cubing the edge
      =(0.093_m)3 =10-4_m3=100_cm3

      the mass of 0.171kg=171_g

      conversion needed is 1_cm3=1_ml

      therefore the density of the cube=171_g/100_cm3=1.71_g/cm3 x 1cm3/1ml x 1_ml/1_cm3=1.71_g/cm3

        Oddman's answer is off by a few decimal places, because he multiplied 0.0393 by 100 and got 39.3. It should be 3.93. So the volume of the cube in cc is 3.933 = 60.7 (I rounded to 3 significant figures because the numbers we are given have 3 significant figures). The mass in grams he gave is correct, 171. So the density is 171/60.7 = 2.82 g/mL
