Answer:

0.03719 lbs/inĀ³

Step-by-step explanation:

Specific weight is given by multiplying the density of an object to the acceleration due to gravity.


\gamma =\rho g\\\Rightarrow \rho=(gamma)/(g)\\\Rightarrow \rho=(10.1* 10^3)/(9.81)\\\Rightarrow \rho=1029.562\ kg/m^3


1\ kg=2.20462\ lb


1\ m=39.3701\ in


\\\Rightarrow 1029.562\ kg/m^3=(1029.562* 2.20462)/(39.3701^3)=0.03719\ lbs/in^3

So,


10.1\ kN/m^3=0.03719\ lbs/in^3
