Answer:

Density of the fuel is 727.3 kilograms per cubic meter.

Specific weight of the fuel is 7127.3 Newtons per cubic meter.

Specific gravity of the fuel is 0,727.

Explanation:

In order to use SI units, we have to convert liters to cubic meters. Knowing that a liter is a cubic decimeter and a cubic decimeter is 1*10^{-3} cubic meters, we know that the tank has 0,055 cubic meters of fuel (because it is full).

Now that we have things in SI units, we calculate density:

p_{fuel}= \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{40 kg}{0.055 m^{3} } =727.3 \frac{kg }{m^{3} }

Knowing the mass per unit of volume, we can calculate weight per unit of volume thanks to Newton's second law (mass times acceleration, g in this case, equals force (weight)), i.e. specific weight:

y=p*g=727,3 \frac{kg}{m^{3}}*9.8\frac{m }{s^{2}}=7127,3 \frac{N}{m^{3}}

With density we can also calculate how dense the fuel is related to a reference (water), i.e. specific gravity. SG is a dimensionless number that tell us how much denser (SG>1) or lighter per unit of volume (SG<1) a substance is than water. We use water as a reference because it is one of the most used substances in our life, and it is a standard density (1000 kg per cubic meter at 4°C and 1 atm).

SG=\frac{p_{fuel} }{p_{water} } =\frac{727.3 \frac{kg }{m^{3} }}{1000 \frac{kg }{m^{3} }} =0,727

This dude was sitting in the chair. Someone pulls the chair out from under him. He does not move in the direction of the chair.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

This shows inertia because inertia is an object's resistance to change in motion. When the person (imma call them a she) who pulled the chair from under the guy did that, the chair was the one affected by the force of the girl, not the guy. The guy continued heading in the direction he was originally going, which was down.

At least, that's about how I would answer this question.
