Question

The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3. What is this density in the units of lbs/in3? (1 in = 2.54 cm and 1 lb = 453.6 g).

Answer 1

Answer:

$\rho =0.697\frac{lb}{in^3}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given that 1 inch equals 2.54 cm and 1 lb equals 453.6 g we apply the following conversion factor in order to compute the required density in lb/in³:

$\rho=19.3\frac{g}{cm^3}*\frac{1lb}{453.6g} *(\frac{2.54cm}{1in} )^3\\\\\rho =0.697\frac{lb}{in^3}$

Best regards.
