Solid Gold
Posted in Watches on 12/05/2009 05:39 am by adminHow much would an actual goose egg of solid gold weigh?
In the children's story "Jack and the Bean Stalk", Jack steals a goose that lays golden eggs. Gold being one of the densest metals and goose eggs being relatively large eggs, how much would an actual goose egg of solid gold weigh?
To answer this, you need to find out:
- the density of gold (g/cm^3)
- the volume of a goose egg (in cm^3)
The formula that relates density, mass, and volume is:
d = m/V
where d is density (in g/cm^3)
m is mass (in g)
V is volume (in cm^3)
remember that 1 cm^3 is 1 mL and is also sometimes abbreviated cc (cubic centimetre)
