Question

A cylindrical container has a radius of 0.3 meter and a height of 0.75 meter. The container is filled with kerosene. The density of kerosene is 815 kg/m³. What is the mass of the kerosene in the container? Enter your answer in the box. Use 3.14 for π. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

The answer is 173

Explanation:

The other guy's answer was correct, but he forgot to round up to the nearest whole number so just in case you didn't notice the question saying that!

Answer 2

172.83 kg

Explanation:

A cylindrical container has a radius (r) of 0.3 meter and a height (h) of 0.75 meter and density of 815 kg/m³.

The density of a substance is the mass per unit volume, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume occupied. The density is given by the formula:

Density = Mass / volume

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

V = πr²h

V = π × (0.3)² × 0.75 = 0.212 m³

Density = Mass/ volume

Mass = Density × Volume

Mass = 815 kg/m³ × 0.212 m³

Mass = 172.83 kg
