The volume of a cube is L3. The volume of a sphere is 4/3 π r3 . If L=2r, Vcube=8r3. Comparing the volume of the cube with a side 2r and a sphere with a diameter of 2r where the r's are equal gives us:

Vcube/Vsphere= (8r3)/(4/3 π r3 ) or (8x3)/(πx4)

As π roughly equals 3 the equation simplifies to:

Vcube/Vsphere=2

or a cube with its side equal to the diameter of a sphere has a volume approximately twice that of the sphere.

How would the density of a sphere and cube compare if the mass of the cube and sphere are the same but the volume of the cube is greater?

If the same mass is contained in a greater volume, that means that the mass is spread thinner, so there's "less mass in each little piece of volume". That's the same as saying "lower density".

What is the cube root of volume of cube?

The volume of a cube is determined by cubing the length of one edge, so the cube root of the volume will give you the length of an edge. (In a cube, all of the edges are the same length)


The volume of a cube depends on what?

The volume of a cube depends on the length of its edges. The formula to calculate the volume of a cube is V = s^3, where s represents the length of one side of the cube.
