Question Details

The volume of a cube of side 1cm is equal to.........m3

Options

A

10 m⁻³

B

10⁻⁴ m⁻³

C

10⁻² m⁻³

D

10⁻⁶ m⁻³

Correct Answer :

10⁻⁶ m⁻³

Solution :

The correct option is 10⁻⁶ m⁻³.

To find the volume of the cube in cubic meters, we perform the following conversion steps:

Step 1: Identify the side length of the cube
The side length of the cube, denoted as s, is given as:
s=1 cm

Step 2: Convert the side length from centimeters to meters
Since 1 m=100 cm, we have:
1 cm=10-2 m

Step 3: Calculate the volume
The volume V of a cube is calculated using the formula:
V=s3

Substitute the side length in meters into the volume formula:
V=(10-2 m)3

Apply the laws of exponents to simplify the expression:
V=10-2×3 m3
V=10-6 m3

Thus, the volume of the cube is 10-6 m3 (which corresponds to the option 10⁻⁶ m⁻³).
