	In the opening scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones tries to remove a gold idol with a bag of sand of approximate equal volume (Density of gold = 19.3 g/cm³; density of sand = 2 g/cm³.) a. Did he have a reasonable chance of not activating the mass-sensitive booby trap? b. In a later scene he and an unscrupulous guide play cath with the idol. Assume that the volume of the idol is about 1.0 L. If it were solid gold, what mass (pounds) would the idol have? Is playing catch with it plausible?
