    Confused Height Unknown

    Greetings, I have a unique math problem I need help setting up. I need the weight (mass) of a part to be exactly 4.375Lbs. Here is what I have/know:

    Mass/Weight = 4.3750 Lbs
    Density = .3974 lbs/in^3
    Length = 8.00"
    Width = 4.00"
    Height = Unknown

    What formula will I need to set this problem up? Would someone be willing to help?

    Thanks!

    Justin

    If it is a cube, then:

    Density = Mass / (Length x Width x Height)

    or

    (Length x Width x Height) = Mass / Density

    or

    Height = Mass / (Density x Width x Length)
