rho~=1.7*g*cm^-3

Explanation:

"Density" = "Mass"/"Volume" = (0.016*kgxx10^3*g*kg^-1)/(9.27*cm^3)

=1.73*g*cm^-3

Now chemists would usually use density values of g*mL^-1 or g*cm^-3. These can be converted into kg*m^-3, but these large values are inutile.

Note that I just looked over this question, and the calculated density is ABSURDLY low. So I would review your source. A typical value for silver metal would be rho=10.5*g*cm^-3.
