Question

Find the mass of a cylinder with a volume of 157.08 ft^3 and a density of 0.900 g/cm^3. Final answer should be in kilograms (kg).

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate the requested mass, so we obtain the following:

Then we will substitute in the following formula:

density=mass/volume

0.9 g/cm^3=mass/157.08 ft^3

mass=0.9 g/cm^3*157.08 ft^3

Then we will convert the volume from cubic feet to cubic centimeters in order to operate:

mass=0.9 g/cm^3*(157.08 ft^3*(28317 cm^3/1 ft^3)

mass=0.9 g/cm^3*4448034.36cm^3

mass=4003230.924 g

Finally let's convert the mass to kilograms:

mass=4003230.924 g*(1kg/1000g)

mass=4003.230924 kg

Finally we obtain that the mass of the cylinder is approximately 4003.230924 kg.
