Answer

(a) Volume of cube is $8\,\mathrm{L}$. (b) Mass of water in cube is $8\,\mathrm{kg}$.

Work Step by Step

(a) A cube with side $20\,\mathrm{cm}$ has volume - $20^3$ = $8000\,\mathrm{cm^3}$ = $8000\,\mathrm{ml}$ = $8\,\mathrm{L}$. (b) Density of water is $1\,\mathrm{g/cm^3}$. Mass of water in cube is - $\mathrm{volume}\times \mathrm{density}$ = $8000\times1$ = $8000\,\mathrm{g}$ = $8\,\mathrm{kg}$.
