To find the dimensions of a cube given its mass and density, you can use the formula for density:

\[
\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}
\]

From this, you can rearrange the formula to find the volume (V):

\[
V = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}
\]

In this case, the mass of the steel cube is 1,000 kg, and the density of steel is 8,000 kg/m³. Plugging in the values:

\[
V = \frac{1000 \text{ kg}}{8000 \text{ kg/m}^3} = 0.125 \text{ m}^3
\]

Since the cube's volume is also equal to \( \text{side}^3 \), we can find the length of one side (s) of the cube:

\[
s^3 = V \implies s = \sqrt[3]{V}
\]
\[
s = \sqrt[3]{0.125 \text{ m}^3} = 0.5 \text{ m}
\]

The dimensions of the cube are \(0.5 \, \text{m} \times 0.5 \, \text{m} \times 0.5 \, \text{m}\).

Thus, the correct response is:

**0.5 m**
