Heavier 4553

What is the mass of a cube of cast iron with an edge length of 2.3 dm if we know that the mass of 1 dm³ of cast iron is 7.3 kg? Will the same size cube of cork be heavier if we know that the weight of 1 m³ of cork is 250 kg?

Correct answer:

m₁ =  88.8191 kg
m₂ =  3.0418 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=2.3 \\ V=a^3=2.3^3=12.167 \\ {m}_1=7.3\cdot V=7.3\cdot 12.167=88.8191\text{kg} \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} m_2=250/1000\cdot V=250/1000\cdot 12.167\doteq 3.0418\text{kg} \\ {m}_1>m_2 \end{gathered}$$
