$A$ tub is filled with water and a wooden cube $10 \ \text{cm} \times 10 \ \text{cm} \times 10 \ \text{cm}$ is placed in the water. The wooden cube is found to float on the water with a part of it submerged in water. When a metal coin is placed on the wooden cube, the submerged part is increased by $3.87 \ \text{cm}$. The mass of the metal coin is . . . . . . gram. (Take water density as $1 \ \text{g/cm}^3$ and density of wood as $0.4 \ \text{g/cm}^3$)
