Question

The density (mass/volume) of aluminum is 5.26 slug/ft3. Determine its density in SI units. Use an appropriate prefix.

Answer 1

2.71 × 10³ kg/m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The density (mass/volume) of aluminum is 5.26 slug/ft³.

• The SI unit of mass is the kilogram and 1 slug = 14.59 kg

• The SI unit of volume is the m³ and 1 m³ = 35.31 ft³

We can find the density of aluminum in SI units using conversion fractions.

`(5.26slug)/(ft^(3) ) .(14.59kg)/(1slug) .(35.31ft^(3))/(1m^(3) ) =2.71 * 10^(3) kg/m^(3)`
