In the opening scene of the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones tries to remove a gold idol from a booby-trapped pedestal. In an effort to remove the idol without tripping the trap, he replaces the idol with a bag of sand of approximately equal volume. The density of gold is 19.32 g/mL and the density of sand is about 3 g/mL.
A) If the idol had a volume of 1.5 L, what volume of sand would be required to provide the same mass as the same sized idol made of gold?
B) In a later scene, Indy and an unscrupulous guide play catch with the idol. Assume that the volume of the idol is about 1.5 L. If it were made of solid gold, how many pounds (lb) would it weigh?
Pepsi are sold in 12 oz cans and 2-L bottles. You should know how many 12 oz cans are equivalent to a 2-L bottle if you want to get a good deal.
If you buy a case of Pepsi on sale, each can costs about 25 cents. The 2-L bottle is $1.09. Which is the better deal?
