Definitions from the Web

Cube Law

Definition: The cube law refers to a mathematical principle stating that when the size of an object is increased or decreased proportionally, its surface area is multiplied by the square of the size change, while its volume is multiplied by the cube of the size change.

Examples:

  1. Physics: According to the cube law, if a cube's sides are doubled in length, the surface area is quadrupled, and the volume is increased by a factor of eight.
  2. Biology: The cube law is often applied to the study of organisms where the relationship between size change and other physical attributes like strength and metabolism can be observed.
  3. Architecture: Architects utilize the cube law when scaling up or down models or blueprints, as it helps maintain proportional relationships between the dimensions of the various elements.
