Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm³, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long fiber. (a) If a sample of gold with a mass of 8.338 g, is pressed into a leaf of 1.622 μm thickness, what is the area of the leaf? (b) If, instead, the gold is drawn out into a cylindrical fiber of radius 2.300 µm, what is the length of the fiber?
