You are missing something here.

I think you mean that the volume of the copper specimen is 10 cc (cubic centimeters). The calculated density = Mass/Volume
89.6 grams / 10 cc = 8.96 g/cc.

This is very close to the "textbook" Density of metalic copper is: 8.94 - 8.95, Average = 8.94 g/cc at ambient room temperature or 8.96 g/cc at 293 degrees K (which is about 20 degrees C or 68 degrees F).

Hmmm. What part of cooper did you sample, his toenails? And what does that have to do with the density of copper?
