Few materials have as great value as gold. You have inherited an old gold jewelry, but will pledge it to get money for a new car. Using Arkhimedes' law you find that jewelry has a volume corresponding to 7.10-^5 m^3 Gold has a price per kilo of NOK. 207 000, -. How much money can you get for the jewelry ?
Solution:
The price can be found by volume x density x unit price.
The volume is given, the price is given, the problem is the density.
So I looked up the density in Wikipedia as follow:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold
Density near r.t. | 19.30 g/cm3 |
---|
To solve the puzzle, we need to also convert the units.
1kg/m3=1000g/m3=1000g/(100cm)3=1000g/1000000cm3=1g/1000cm3.
Therefore, 1g/cm3=1000kg/m3
Now we have all the pieces, the answer is
7×10−5×19.30×1000×207000=279657NOK
By the way, NOK is not a valid currency code?
