Answer:
Explanation:
Hello!!
Please remember that density=mass/volume.
In this case, we have the same mass for the feathers and the gold (1 pound).
So, if the mass is the same for both we have:
Df*Vg=Dg*Vf where f means feathers and g means gold.
In this case we see density is inversely related to volume. Both materials have the same mass. So which one have a bigger volume?
For this take a pound of feathers and submerge in a known volume of water. Note the displacement. Do the same for a pound of gold. Whichever has the smaller displacement, has the greater density.
In this case, Gold has the greatest density.
