Chapter 1, Problem 94(choose chapter or problem)
In the opening scenes of the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones tries to remove a gold idol from a booby-trapped pedestal. He replaces the idol with a bag of sand of approximately equal volume. (Density of gold 19.32 g/cm3 ; density of sand 2 g/cm3 .) a. Did he have a reasonable chance of not activating the masssensitive booby trap? b. In a later scene he and an unscrupulous guide play catch with the idol. Assume that the volume of the idol is about 1.0 L. If it were solid gold, what mass would the idol have? Is playing catch with it plausible?
