To find the mass of an object, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Mass} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} \]
Given:
- Density of stainless steel = 8 grams/cubic centimeter
- Volume of the knife = 3 cubic centimeters
Now, plug the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Mass} = 8 , \text{grams/cm}^3 \times 3 , \text{cm}^3 = 24 , \text{grams} \]
Therefore, the mass of the stainless steel knife is 24 grams.
