Question

t is found that 2.1 u.s. gallons of the fluid weighs 155.2 ounces. what is the fluid’s density in kg/m3?

Answer 1

To find the fluid's density, divide the weight in kilograms by the volume in cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fluid's density, we can use the formula: density = mass/volume. First, we need to convert the fluid's weight from ounces to kilograms, so we divide 155.2 ounces by 35.274 to get 4.4001 kg. Next, we need to convert the volume from U.S. gallons to cubic meters. To find the fluid's density, divide the weight in kilograms by the volume in cubic meters.

There are 3.78541 liters in 1 U.S. gallon, and 1 liter is equal to 0.001 cubic meters, so 2.1 U.S. gallons is equal to 7.9490301 cubic meters. Finally, we can calculate the density by dividing the mass (4.4001 kg) by the volume (7.9490301 cubic meters), which equals 0.553017 kg/m³.
