Explanation:

The scientific method has 5 steps, plus one feedback step:

1 Make an observation.

4 Make a prediction based on the hypothesis.

5 Test the prediction.

6 Iterate: use the results to make new hypotheses or predictions.

in the analysis of systems that involve fluid flow, we frequently encounter the combination of properties u and pv.

the density of gold = 19.3 g/cm3

the relation between density and mass and volume is

density = mass / volume

given :

mass of gold = 13 g

density = 13g / volume = 19.3

volume = 13 /19.3 = 0.67 cm^3

thus volume of gold nugget = 0.67 cm^3
