Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated

Explanation:

Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;

Density = Mass/Volume

Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.

Given mass = 0.0158kg

Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm

Note that 1mm = 0.001m

The volume of the metal will be

0.005×0.015×0.03

= 0.00000225m³

Density = 0.0158/0.00000225

Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³

Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:
W=Fd
