Use a balance with known masses on the other side.
Different metals have different densities, so to find the density either the type of metal or both the size and mass of the cube must be provided. Density is mass divided by volume.
You would need a balance to measure its mass. You would need a ruler to measure the length of its sides. Then you would need to calculate volume. Then divide the mass by the volume to get density.

It's called "the mass of the cube" or "the cube's mass".

The mass and density are very different.
To find the mass of a cube by multiplying the density times the volume of the cube. The volume can be found by multiplying the height times the height times the length.
To measure the mass of a metal cube. First find it's volume, V = L (length) x W (width) x H (height), since it's a cube the L, W, and H are all the same so, V= L^3= H^3= V^3. Then you look up the density in a table or on the internet and multiple the density by volume to get mass. V = L (length) x W (width) x H (height) m = V * density (row)

A monolithic metal is a single metal mass of any shape or form. It is not comprised of multiple metal types, or even multiple spatially distinct quantities of the same metal. An example would be a single cube of iron, or a sheet of aluminum. That is the basic premise.
It's called "the mass of the cube" or "the cube's mass".
Use the formula:mass = volume x density
Density = Mass/Volume = 17/4 = 4.25 grams per cm3
