A thief plans to steal a gold sphere with the radius of 28.9cm from a museum. If the gold has a density of 19.3 g/cm^3 what is t

he mass of the sphere in pounds? (Volume of a sphere is V= (4/3) pi r^3) Is the thief likely to be able to walk off with gold sphere unassisted?

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of gold in pounds is 4299.8 pounds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume of sphere, we use the formula:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

where,

r = radius of sphere

We are given:

Radius of osmium = 28.9 cm

Volume of osmium = \frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times (15)^3=101056cm^3

Density of gold = 19.3g/cm^3

To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

19.3g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of gold}}{101056cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of gold}=1950380.8g

To convert the given mass into pounds, we use the conversion factors:

1 pound = 453.592 g

So, 1950380.8g=1950380.8g\times \frac{1pound}{453.592g}=4299.8pounds

Hence, the mass of gold in pounds is 4299.8 pounds.

<span>First you have to plug the radius (28.9 cm) in the equation for volume, so you would have V = (4/3)*pi*(28.9)^3(which means cubed) to get 101107.2126 cm^3 for volume, next use that in the formula m = d*V = 19.3g/cm^3 * 101107.2126 to get 1,951,369.203g to convert to pounds you multiply that by 0.00220462262 or 0.002 for short to get 4,302.03 pounds
Unless he can carry 4k pounds, I don't think he getting away.</span><span />

MArishka [77]
A should be the answer because the more you test an experiment the more data you have to rely on changing the experiment would cause you to have different outcomes making the results different and unreliable so B, C, and D is not going to be the answer Hope this helps
