Legend says that Archimedes, in determining whether or not the king's crown was made of pure gold, measured its volume by the water displacement method. If the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³, and the crown's mass is 440 g, what volume would be necessary to prove that it is pure gold? A) 31.1 cm³ B) 114* 10³ cm³ C) 22.8 cm³ D) 1.81 *10^-²cm³
