Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the square–cube law.
"On Being the Right Size" is a 1926 essay by J. B. S. Haldane which discusses proportions in the animal world and the essential link between the size of an animal and these systems an animal has for life. [1]
Size alteration was also a common motif of many films directed by Bert I. Gordon, including Beginning of the End, The Amazing Colossal Man, Attack of the Puppet People, Village of the Giants, and an adaptation of H. G. Wells' The Food of the Gods.
The ratio between the volumes of similar figures is equal to the cube of the ratio of corresponding lengths of those figures (for example, when the edge of a cube or the radius of a sphere is multiplied by three, its volume is multiplied by 27 — i.e. by three cubed). Galileo's square–cube law concerns similar solids.
It might make the example in the "Description" section clearer if it were explicitly noted that in the first example (the cube with side length of 1 m) the ratio of Area to Volume is 6:1 and in the second example (the cube with side length 2 m) the ration of Area to Volume is 3:1.

This volume challenged the existing orthodoxy that the resistance to motion of a vessel was in proportion to her displacement. Chapman had challenged this earlier (1775), but Beaufoy's work was taken up by Isambard Kingdom Brunel as the "square-cube" law. Simply put, if a vessel is doubled in size the resistance to motion quadruples, but the ...
