1. What is the Cube Density Formula?

The cube density formula calculates the density (ρ) of a cube by dividing its mass (m) by the cube of its side length (s). It provides a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of the cube.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the cube density formula:

Where:

• \( \rho \) — Density (kg/m³)
• \( m \) — Mass of the cube (kg)
• \( s \) — Side length of the cube (m)

Explanation: The formula calculates the density by dividing the mass by the volume of the cube (which is side length cubed).

3. Importance of Density Calculation

Details: Density is a fundamental physical property used to identify materials, determine buoyancy, and in various engineering applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter mass in kilograms and side length in meters. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What units should I use for the calculation?
A: The calculator uses kg for mass and m for length, resulting in kg/m³ density units.

Q2: Can I use this for other shapes?
A: This specific formula is for cubes only. Other shapes have different volume calculations.

Q3: What is a typical density range for common materials?
A: Metals range from 2,700 kg/m³ (aluminum) to 19,300 kg/m³ (gold). Water is 1,000 kg/m³.

Q4: How precise should my measurements be?
A: For accurate results, measure mass and dimensions to the highest precision possible for your application.

Q5: Does temperature affect the density calculation?
A: Yes, especially for materials that expand/contract significantly with temperature changes.
