Question

The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3. What is this density in the units of lbs/in3? (1 in = 2.54 cm and 1 lb = 453.6 g).

Answer 1

`\rho =0.697(lb)/(in^3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given that 1 inch equals 2.54 cm and 1 lb equals 453.6 g we apply the following conversion factor in order to compute the required density in lb/in³:

`\rho=19.3(g)/(cm^3)*(1lb)/(453.6g) *((2.54cm)/(1in) )^3\\\\\rho =0.697(lb)/(in^3)`

Best regards.
