Chapter 2, Problem 103P(choose chapter or problem)
A thief uses a bag of sand to replace a gold statue that sits on a weight-sensitive, alarmed pedestal. The bag of sand and the statue have exactly the same volume, 1.75 L. (Assume that the mass of the bag is negligible.)
(a) Calculate the mass of each object. (density of gold = \(19.3\mathrm{\ g}/\mathrm{cm}^3\); density of sand = \(3.00\mathrm{\ g}/\mathrm{cm}^3\))
(b) Did the thief set off the alarm? Explain.

ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Here, we are going to calculate the mass of sand and gold given in the problem.
Density of any substance may be defined as mass per unit volume. If ‘d’ be the density, ‘m’ be the mass and ‘v’ be the volume of any substance, then, numerically,
d = -------(1)
