Question

The cube measures 3.0-ft on all sides and has a density of 3.1 slugs/ft3. How much does it weigh?

Answer 1

Answer:

W = 2695.14 lb

Explanation:

given,

side of cube = 3 ft

density of the cube = 3.1 slugs/ft³

we know,

$density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}$

mass = density x volume

volume = 3³ = 27 ft³

mass =  3.1  x 27

    m = 83.7 slugs.

weight calculation

converting mass from slug to pound

weight of 1 slug is equal to 32.2 lb

now,

weight of the cube is equal to

  W = 83.7 slugs x 32.2 lb/slug

  W = 2695.14 lb

hence, weight is equal to W = 2695.14 lb
