A gold ring, having a mass of 598.3 g, is immersed in water and displaces 31 mL of water. What is the density of gold ?

Density 2
-- part contents for background part 10

Here the density is to be determined. The formula for density is D=m/V. You are given the mass and the amount of water the gold displaces.

When the ring is immersed in water, the water displaced is equal to the amount of volume the ring takes up in the total volume (the total volume is the water + the ring). The formula for density is D = m/V and the density of gold is to be determined.
