Find the mass of the gold in the rock

Reference no: EM13652873

A gold prospector finds a solid rock that is composed solely of quartz and gold. The mass and volume of the rock are, respectively, 10.8 kg and 0.00432 m^3. The density of gold is 19 300 kg/m^3, and the density of quartz is 2660 kg/m^3. Find the mass of the gold in the rock.
