Think of it as the difference in moment of inertias for two solid cubes. Calculate the moment of inertia of a solid cube with dimensions equal to the inner dimensions of your hollow cube. Then calculate the moment of inertia of a solid cube with dimensions equal to the outer dimensions of your hollow cube. Subtract the moment of inertia of the inner dimensions from the moment of inertia of the outer dimensions to get the moment of inertia of what's left. Same concept applies to finding the area of a thin-walled circle. Outer area - inner area = total area. Outer moment of inertia - inner moment of inertia = total moment of inertia.
This approach won't work however if you're considering hollow shell - a cube with walls of zero thickness.
If the axis of rotation goes through the cube center, perpendicular to one of its walls, first calculate moment of inertia of the wall that the axis passes through (let's call it Ia).
For all equations below d equals surface density(mass per unit of area) and a is length of cube's side.
Ia= d * a4 / 6
Then you have to calculate moments of inertia of four walls parallel to the axis.
This will be Ib=4 * Iwall=4*d*a4/3.
Total moment of the shell will be then:
I=2*Ia+Ib=1.5*d*a4.
If the axis is through the center and ┴ one face, I = (m/6)*[a² - (a-t)²], or
I = (m/6)(2at - t²) for any value of t, however small.

The parallel axis theorem says, I = Io+md^2. We know Io of a cube (side length a) with an axis parallel to a side and through the centroid is 1/6*m*a^2. The distance d to the axis is a/2*sqrt(2). This yields the moment of inertia along the axis of 2/3*m*a^2.
if side length is a then (2/3)ma^2

If the mass of the cube is 96 g, what is the density of the cube material?
Its density is 2g/cms3
Cannot be answered without knowing the size of the cube!If the cube were 1 cm on a side the density would be 60.If the cube were 10 cm on a side the density would be 0.06...We cannot determine the answer because we are not given the volume.Density= mass/volumeVolume of a cube=L3 ; where L = side length
The density is 4 g/cm3.
To solve this you need to know the relationship that density = mass divided by volume We're given a length of a side of a cube as 2.5cm so to find the volume of the cube we need to cube it (length x bredth x height) volume = (2.5)3 = 15.625cm3 so if density = mass(136.95g)/volume(15.625cm3) density = 8.7648 g cm-3 in textbooks its given as (8.3- 8.7 gcm-3) as a typical density of brass.
If the cube is uniform ( ie it has uniform density) then the geometric center of the cube is its center of gravity.
along its diagonal
equal the density of any other piece, assuming that the original cube was made of the same uniform substance.
1.73, the square root of 3.Motors are rated in horsepower, not KW.
If the mass of the cube is 96 g, what is the density of the cube material?
No. Each piece of the cube would have the same density.
The density is (32)/(the length of each edge of the cube)3
Multiply the volume of the cube by its density.
B/c the density of the ice cube is greater than the density of the air.
Its density is 2g/cms3
Density = mass/volume Density of the cube = 8g/2cm3 = 4g/cm3
Calculating mass is near enough impossible: it has to be measured. You can measure its volume and then if you know its density you can work out the mass. However, that requires you to know that the cube is solid and of uniform material. I am not aware of any non-destructive method of doing so.
