Chapter 1, Problem 22P
Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile mental and can be pressed into a long fiber.(a) If a sample of gold, with a mass of 27.63 g, is pressed into a leaf of 1.000 μm thickness, what is the area of the leaf? (b) If, instead, the gold is drawn out into a cylindrical fiber of radius 2.500 μm, what is the length of the fiber?
