According to the Jefferson lab, "The scientific definition of work is: using a force to move an object a distance (when both the force and the motion of the object are in the same direction.)"
Answer: 0.9264 kg
Explanation: [I'll use "cc" for cubic centimeter, instead of cm^3.
The volume is 6cm*4cm*2cm = 48 cm^3 (cc).
Density of Au is 19.3 g/cc
Mass of gold = (48 cc)*(9.3 g/cc) = 926.4 grams Au
1 kg = 1,000 g
(926.4 grams Au)*(1 kg/1,000 g) = 0.9264 kg, 0.93 kg to 2 sig figs
At gold's current price of $57,500/kg, this bar is worth $53,268. Keep it hidden from your lab partner (and instructor).
