Homework Statement


a cube of aluminum 1.00m X 1.00m X 1.00m is moving 0.90c foward. The rest density of aluminum is 2.7x10^3 kg/m^3

Calculate the relativistic volume.

Is there a equation for relativistic volume?

There's no need for an equation since this is a straight forward application of length contraction.
 
Volume of a rectangle is "length x width x height" and one of those contracts while the other remain the same.
