Complete question:

A college dormitory room measures 14 ft wide by 13 ft long by 6 ft high. Weight density of air is 0.07 lbs/ft3. What is the weight of air in it under normal conditions?

Answer:

the weight of the air is 76.44 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

dimension of the dormitory, = 14 ft by 13 ft by 6 ft

density of the air, = 0.07 lbs/ft³

The volume of the air in the dormitory room = 14 ft x 13 ft x 6 ft

= 1092 ft³

The weight of the air = density x volume

= 0.07 lbs/ft³ x 1092 ft³

= 76.44 lbs

Therefore, the weight of the air is 76.44 lbs
