one drop of water has a mass of one gram. determine the mass of 625 drops of water in slugs
To convert the mass of water from grams to slugs, we need to use the conversion factor 1 slug = 14.59 kilograms.
First, we need to determine the mass of 625 drops of water in grams:
Mass of one drop of water = 1 gram
Mass of 625 drops of water = 1 gram * 625 = 625 grams
Next, we convert the mass from grams to kilograms:
Mass of 625 drops of water = 625 grams / 1000 = 0.625 kilograms
Finally, we convert the mass from kilograms to slugs:
Mass of 625 drops of water = 0.625 kilograms / 14.59 kilograms per slug ≈ 0.04286 slugs
Therefore, the mass of 625 drops of water is approximately 0.04286 slugs.
