a gasoline tank has a mass of 60 kg and a density of .752 gcm^3 what is the volume
thanks
To find the volume of the gasoline tank, we can use the formula:
Volume = mass / density
First, let's convert the density from grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm^3) to kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3), as the mass is given in kilograms.
Density = 0.752 g/cm^3 * (1 kg / 1000 g) * (100^3 cm^3 / 1 m^3)
Density = 0.752 * (1 / 1000) * (100^3)
Density = 75.2 kg/m^3
Now, we can calculate the volume:
Volume = 60 kg / 75.2 kg/m^3
Volume ≈ 0.797 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the gasoline tank is approximately 0.797 cubic meters.
mass = volume x density
Substitute and solve for volume.
First, convert 60 kg to grams and note you made a typo. density is 0.752 g/cc and not 0.752 gcc
