Question

You lower a 2.8 kg solid gold statue into a container of water and measure the volume of displaced water. What volume will verify that it is pure gold if the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3

Answer 1

V = 145 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

mass of the solid = 2.8 Kg

= 2800 g

density of the gold = 19.3 g/cm³

volume of the water displaced = ?

volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of statue.

Volume of statue = ?

`Volume = (mass)/(density)`

`Volume = (2.8* 1000)/(19.3)`

V = 145 cm³

volume of the water displaced will be equal to 145 cm³
