Answer:
<em>The volume of the feathers in ft³ = 16 ft³</em>
Explanation:
Density: This can be defined as the ratio of mass of a body to the corresponding volume of that body. The S.I unit of Density is kg/m³
Mathematically it can be expressed as,
D = m/v ................................... Equation 1
making v the subject of the equation above,
v = m/D ............................. Equation 2
Where D = Density of the feathers, m = mass of the feathers, v = volume of the feathers.
Given: D = 0.50 lbs/ft³, m = 8.0 lbs.
Substituting into equation 2
v = 8/0.5
v = 16 ft³
<em>Thus the volume of the feathers in ft³ = 16 ft³</em>
