Question

A shipping container weights 100kg. The dimensions are 5 metres by 5 metres by 8 metres. What is the density?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The volume of the container is:

V = l × w × h = 5m × 5m × 8m = 200 m³

The density is:

density = mass / volume

We are given the mass is 100 kg.

density = 100 kg / 200 m³ = 0.5 kg/m³

Therefore, the density of the shipping container is 0.5 kg/m³.

Answer 2

Answer: 0.5 kg/m^3

Explanation:

To find the density of the shipping container, we need to divide its mass (weight) by its volume. The mass of the container is given as 100 kg.

To find the volume of the container, we need to multiply its length, width, and height. Therefore, the volume is:

V = l × w × h = 5 m × 5 m × 8 m = 200 m^3

Now we can find the density by dividing the mass by the volume:

Density = Mass / Volume = 100 kg / 200 m^3

Density = 0.5 kg/m^3
