A rectangular solid has measured dimensions 5.0 cm×2.0 cm×1.0 cm5.0\,\text{cm}\times 2.0\,\text{cm}\times 1.0\,\text{cm} and a mass of 27.0 g27.0\,\text{g}. Using the data below, which material is the sample most likely made of? Possible materials (tabulated densities): • Aluminum   (2.7 g/cm3)\;(2.7\,\text{g/cm}^3) • Titanium   (4.5 g/cm3)\;(4.5\,\text{g/cm}^3) • Brass   (8.4 g/cm3)\;(8.4\,\text{g/cm}^3) • Lead   (11.3 g/cm3)\;(11.3\,\text{g/cm}^3) (a) Titanium (4.5 g/cm3)(4.5\,\text{g/cm}^3) (b) Aluminum (2.7 g/cm3)(2.7\,\text{g/cm}^3) (c) Brass (8.4 g/cm3)(8.4\,\text{g/cm}^3) (d) Lead (11.3 g/cm3)(11.3\,\text{g/cm}^3)
