Legend says that archimedes, in determining whether or not the king's crown was made of pure gold, measured its volume by the water displacement method. if the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3, and the crown's mass is 600 g, what volume would be necessary to prove that it is pure gold?

Respuesta :

mass=volume x density
if we have mass and density we can calculate volume using the formula: volume=mass/density
volume of the displaced water = 600g/19.3g/cm3
volume = 31.09cm3
