Chapter 2, Problem 107E
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, 1.75L. (Assume that the mass of the bag is negligible.)
a. Calculate the mass of each object. (density of gold = 19.3g/cm3;density of sand = 3.00g/cm3)
b. Did the thief set off the alarm? Explain.

A thief uses a can of sand to replace a solid gold cylinder that sits on a weight-sensitive, alarmed pedestal. The can of sand and the gold cylinder have exactly the same dimensions (length = 22 and radius = 3.8 cm).a. Calculate the mass of each cylinder (ignore the mass of the can itself). (density of gold = 19.3 g/cm3, density of sand = 3.00 g>cm3)b. Does the thief set off the alarm? Explain.
