If the specific volume of red brass is 0.001865 ft/3lb.
What would be the density?
Thanks!
I believe it would be 548lbs./cu.ft
To find the density, we can first remind ourselves of the relationship between density, specific volume, and mass:
Density = mass / volume
In this case, we are given the specific volume (0.001865 ft/3lb), which means that for every 3 pounds of the material, it occupies a volume of 0.001865 ft^3.
Now, let's assume we have a mass of 1 pound of the red brass. Since the specific volume is given for every 3 pounds, we can calculate the volume for 1 pound by dividing the specific volume by 3:
Volume = specific volume / mass
= 0.001865 ft^3/3 lb
≈ 0.0006217 ft^3/lb
Now that we have the volume and the mass, we can plug them into the density formula:
Density = mass / volume
= 1 lb / 0.0006217 ft^3/lb
≈ 1607.86 lb/ft^3
Therefore, the density of the red brass is approximately 1607.86 lb/ft^3.
