How can you determine the atomic mass of an unknown metal if you know its density and the dimension of its unit cell? Explain?

Density of a unit cell is the same as the density of the substance. So, if the density of the substance is known, we can calculate the number of atoms or dimensions of the unit cell. The density of the unit cell is related to its formula mass (M), number of atoms per unit cell (z), edge length (a in cm), and Avogadro's constant N_(A) , as rho=(zxxM)/(a^(3)xxN_(A)) Q. A metal A (atomic mass=60) has a body-centred cubic crystal structure. the density of the metal is 4.2 g cm^(-3) . the volume of unit cell is
