Question

A king orders a gold crown having a mass of 0.5 kg. When it arrives from the metalsmith, the volume of the crown is found to be 185 cm3. Is the crown made of solid gold?

Answer 1

Answer:

The crown is not made of solid gold.  

Explanation:

Density ρ = M/V.  M and V are given.

The density of the crown is (0.5 kg)/(185 cm3) * (106 cm3)/(1 m3) = 2.7*103 kg/m3.
