We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb. 
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3 
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3 
= 19076.6 cm^3  

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.

A). m/s ... meters per second. 
                 That's a speed.

b). m/s² ... (meters per second) per second. 
                   Acceleration
.

c). m²/s ... square meters per second.
                 Rate of change of area.
                 Meaningless unit, unless you happen to be
                     a painter of houses or a mower of lawns.

d). kg-m/s² ... (mass) x (an acceleration). 
                      This is a unit of force.  
                       In fact, it's the definition of "newton".

Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?
Rzqust [24]

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)
