Gold has a density of 19320 kg/m3. A salesman wants to sell you a metallic cube that weighs 500 grams,
with side lengths of 3cm, for $80, which he claims is solid gold. Investigate whether you believe this item
to be solid gold or another metal and justify your choice with clear mathematical working and explanations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The volume of the cube is = 27 .
The density of the sample is = 18.51852 .
Compare it with the standard density of the gold , which is the same as .
Now make your conclusion.
