say the mass is 1 and the length is 1
if the length were 0.98, the volume would be .98^3 = .941
then if the mass were 1.03
density = mass/volume = 1.03/.941 = 1.094
or 9.4 percent greater
if the length were 0.98, the volume would be .98^3 = .941
then if the mass were 1.03
density = mass/volume = 1.03/.941 = 1.094
