no, if volume is doubled, then mass is doubled. If the dimensions, however are doubled, then mass is multiplied by 8.

If mass or volume changes by any factor and it is assumed that all dimensions increase equally to accommodate that factor, then each of the three dimensions will change by the cubic root of that factor. If the dimensions change equally by any factor, then the mass and volume change by that factor cubed.

your bad math "fact" made me post on a fetish forum.
