Question

The density of gold is and the density of glass is . You have a gold cube that is in length on each side. If you want to make a glass cube that is the same weight as the gold cube, how long must each side of the glass cube be?

Answer

Weight = Density * Volume

Volume of Gold Cube = side3= x3

Weight of Gold = 16 g/cm3 * x3

Weight of Glass = 3/cm3 * side3

Set the weight of the gold equal to the weight of the glass and solve for the side length:

16* x3 = 2 * side3

side3 = 16/2* x3 = 8 x3

Take the cube root of both sides:

side = 2x
