One drop of water has a mass of one gram. Determine the mass of 625 drops of water in slugs.
To determine the mass of 625 drops of water in slugs, we first need to convert the mass from grams to slugs.
1 slug is equal to 32.17405 pounds.
Given that one drop of water has a mass of one gram, we can calculate the mass of 625 drops of water in grams:
Mass of 625 drops of water = 625 grams
Next, we need to convert from grams to pounds:
1 pound is equal to 453.59237 grams.
Therefore, the mass of 625 drops of water in pounds is:
Mass in pounds = 625 grams / 453.59237 grams/pound = 1.378759 pounds
Finally, we convert the mass in pounds to slugs:
1 slug = 32.17405 pounds
Mass in slugs = mass in pounds / 32.17405 pounds/slug
Mass in slugs = 1.378759 pounds / 32.17405 pounds/slug ≈ 0.0429 slugs
Therefore, the mass of 625 drops of water is approximately 0.0429 slugs.
