When the gold cube is immersed in mercury, the tension in the string in Newtons is 3.142N.
<h3>What is tension?</h3>
Tension is the force acting on the linear object like string, chain or rope due to pulling.
Volume of gold V = mass / density
V = 1.18 /19.3x 10³ =61.1 x 10⁻⁶ m³
Tension in the string after immersing will be
T = [ρ(Gold) -ρ(Hg)] g. V
T =[ 19.3x 10³ - 13.6 x 10³] x 9.81 x 61.1 x 10⁻⁶
T =3.416 N
Thus, the tension in the string is 3.42 N.

Answer:
The pressure of the solid on the surface depends on the area of contact. The area of contact between the two surfaces. The greater the force or the smaller the area the greater the pressure.
