Are the units of volume compatible with the density units?

In summary, the object submerged in oil has a weight of 34.7N while the object submerged in water has a weight of 34N.

do I need to make some unit conversions because this number seems way off to me?

m= p * v => m = 9.3 g/cm^3 * 4.201 x 10 ^ -4 = .0039
Just as with mistakenly copying numbers between calculations, ignoring units can get you into trouble just as quickly.

What are the units of volume here? V = 4.201×10-4 what exactly? Are these units compatible with the units in the density of the block?
