1. In the opening scenes of the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones tries to remove a gold idol from a mass-sensitive, booby-trapped pedestal. He replaces the idol with a bag of sand of approximately equal volume. (Density of gold = 19.32 g/cm³; density of sand 3 g/cm³) (10 pts)

1. Calculate the volume of sand needed to keep the mass-sensitive booby trap from springing. Assume the idol weighs 35 pounds. (In other words, calculate the volume of 35 pounds of sand.)
2. Did he have a reasonable chance of not activating the mass-sensitive booby trap with the bag shown in the movie? Explain. (Compare the volume of sand to the volume of the gold idol.)
3. In a later scene, he and an unscrupulous guide play catch with the idol. Assume the volume of the idol is 1.0 L. If the idol is solid gold, what mass would the idol have (in pounds)?
4. Is playing catch with it plausible?
