Question

You purchased 1-kg of a pure gold statue (density is 19.3 g/cm³). To check the quality of gold you can submerge it into the water. What is the expected displaced volume of water?

Group of answer choices

a)51.8 cm³

b)19.3 cm³

c)42.6 cm³

d)32.6 cm³

Expert Solution

Step 1

Let m be defined as the mass of the gold, and ρ be defined as the density of the gold. Therefore, volume V be given as,

$\begin{array}{rcl} ρ & = & \frac{m}{V} \\ V & = & \frac{m}{ρ} \end{array}$
