Question

Consider a room that is 20 ft long, 15 ft wide, and 8 ft high. For standard sea level conditions, calculate the mass of air in the room in slugs. Calculate the weight in pounds.

Answer 1

Answer:

5.70456 slug

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Dimensions of the room = 20 ft long, 15 ft wide, and 8 ft high

Now,

Volume of the room = 20 × 15 × 8

or

Volume of the room = 2400 ft³

we know,          

Density of air = 0.0023769 slug/ft³

Therefore,

Mass of air in the room = Volume × Density

= 0.0023769 × 2400

= 5.70456 slug
