A jeweller claims that he makes ornaments of pure gold that has a relative density of 19.3. He sells a bangle weighing 25.25 gf to a person. The clever customer weighs the bangle when immersed in water and finds that it weighs 23.075 gf in water. With the help of suitable calculations, find out whether the ornament is made of pure gold or not.

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the bangle is made of pure gold, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Gather the given data - Weight of the bangle in air (W_air) = 25.25 gf - Weight of the bangle in water (W_water) = 23.075 gf ### Step 2: Calculate the loss of weight in water The loss of weight when the bangle is immersed in water can be calculated using the formula: ...
