Chapter 1.3, Problem 4CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of a gold nugget with a given mass is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Density is known as mass per unit volume

$\rho =\frac{m}{v}$ Here, $\rho$ is the density, $m$ is the mass, and $v$ is the volume.

Density estimates the amount of matter present in an object with its volume.

The unit of density is ${\text{g/cm}}^{\text{3}}$ and ${\text{kg/m}}^{\text{3}}$.
