Question

If your front lawn is 21.0 feet wide and 20.0 feet long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1350 new snowflakes every minute, how much snow, in kilograms, accumulates on your lawn per hour

Answer 1

Mass of flake = 67.716 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of lawn = 21 ft

Width of lawn = 20 ft

Note:

Each snow flake mass = 1.90 mg

Find:

Weight of total flake in a minute

Computation:

Area of lawn = 21 × 22

Area of lawn = 440 ft²

Amount of flake per minute = 440 × 1350

Amount of flake per minute = 594000 flake/ minutes

Mass of flake = 594000 × 1.90 mg × 60 minutes

Mass of flake = 67,716,000 mg

Mass of flake = 67.716 kg
