Explanation:
The dimensions of a standard backpack is 30cm x 30cm x 40cm
The mass of an average student is 70 kg
We know that, the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³.
Let m be the mass of the backpack. So,
[tex]\text{density}=\dfrac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=19.3\ g/cm^3\times (30\times 30\times 40)\ cm^3\\\\m=694800\ g\\\\\text{or}\\\\m=694.8\ kg\approx 700\ kg[/tex]
An average student has a mass of 70 kg. If we compare the mass of student and mass of backpack, we find that the backpack is 10 times of the mass of the student.
