"Density," rho=1*g*cm^-3

Explanation:

"Density" is simply the quotient...."Mass"/"Volume"

And here we are quoted the mass, and for a cube we may calculate the volume straightforwardly....

And so rho=(27*g)/(3.0*cmxx3.0*cmxx3.0*cm)=(27*g)/(3.0*cm)^3

1.0*g*cm^-3....this is a dense block of wood. Would it float?
