When the gold cube is immersed in mercury, the tension in the string in Newtons is 3.142N.

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

Tension is the force acting on the linear object like string, chain or rope due to pulling.

Volume of gold V = mass / density

V = 1.18 /19.3x 10³ =61.1 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Tension in the string after immersing will be

T = [ρ(Gold) -ρ(Hg)] g. V

T =[ 19.3x 10³ - 13.6 x 10³] x 9.81 x 61.1 x 10⁻⁶

T =3.416 N
Thus, the tension in the string is 3.42 N.
