Expert Solution
Step 1

5.a)Mass and volume of an object is related by its density.

ρ=mV                                                                         ......(1)

where ρ is the density of the object

          m is the mass

          V is the volume

volume of a cube, V=L3                                            ......(2)

Surface area of cube, S=6L2                                     ......(3)

where L is the length of the cube
