Question

A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 10 feet, a width of 9.5 feet, and a height of 2.5 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.61 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?

Answer 1

Explanation:

shipping container is in the shape of a Right rectangular prism with the length of the 12 feet away the 8.5 feet and the height of 4 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh on average 0.25 pounds per cubic foot what is the weight in pounds of the contents in the container

Right rectangular prism is a cuboid

Volume of Right rectangular prism = 12 * 8.5 * 4 = 408 cubic feet

Content Density = 0.25 pounds per cubic foot

Density = Mass / Volume

=> 0.25 = Weight of contents in container / Volume of container

=> 0.25 = Weight of contents in container / 408

=> Weight of contents in container = 0.25 * 408

=> Weight of contents in container = 102 pounds
