Question

A metal stand specifies a maximum load of 450 lb. Will it support an aquarium that weighs 59.5 lb and is filled with 37.9 L of seawater (d = 1.03 g/mL)

Answer 1

yes it will that was an easy question

Answer 2

Answer: Yes, it will able to support the aquarium with water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of the aquarium = 59.5 lb

Mass of the water =m

Volume of the water = 37.9 L

`Density=1.03 g/L=(mass)/(volume)=(m)/(37.9 L)`

m = 39.037 g = 0.0858814 lb (1 g = 0.0022 lb)

Total weight of the aquarium with water :

= 59.5 lb + 0.0858814 lb = 59.5858814 lb

Maximum load taken by the metal stand = 450 lb

59.5858814 lb < 450 lb

Yes, it will able to support the aquarium with water.
