Answer:
Explanation:
Actual weight, Wo = 5 N
Apparent weight, W = 4.5 N
density of water = 1 g/cm^3 = 1000 kg/m^3
density of gold, = 19.32 g/cm^3 = 19.32 x 1000 kg/m^3
Buoyant force = Actual weight - Apparent weight
Volume x density of water x g = 5 - 4.5
V x 1000 x 9.8 = 0.5
V = 5.1 x 10^-6 m^3
Weight of gold = Volume of gold x density of gold x gravity
W' = 5.1 x 10^-6 x 19.32 x 1000 x 9.8 = 0.966 N
As W' is less than W so, it is not pure gold.
