Height of a 91 lbs. gold cube.

Homework Statement

Determine the height of a 91 lbs. gold cube.

Homework Equations

I'm not really sure which equations are relevant here... this is an Honors Physics problem for my girlfriend, but she asked me to attempt and I'm in Physics.
Anyways, I thought of and only found a few I could think to be relevant:
P= F/A
And that's all I could really find, or have any knowledge of.

The Attempt at a Solution

I first converted the 91 lbs. to kg, making 41.4 kg.
My thought process on this was that if I could determine the surface area through P= F/A then I could figure out a length of the cube. It being a cube that'd also decide the h height of the cube, thus giving me my answer.
However, I am stuck.
Lacking any previous physics knowledge, as my physics class just started last week, I'm not entirely sure on where to take this next.
I'm asking for a little direction, please.


Thanks for your time,
Chris

Look up the density of gold.

Do as learningphysics suggested,

then use volume (of cube) and not surface area. One need not consider pressure.

I first converted the 91 lbs. to kg, making 41.4 kg.

Incidentally, that isn't a conversion: pounds measure force and kilograms measure mass.
