Question

A classroom is about 3 meters high, 20 meters wide and 30 meters long. If the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3, what is the mass of the air in the classroom?

Answer 1

Answer:

the mass of the air in the classroom = 2322 kg

Explanation:

given:

A classroom is about 3 meters high, 20 meters wide and 30 meters long.

If the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3

find:

what is the mass of the air in the classroom?

density = mass / volume

where mass (m) = 1.29 kg/m³

volume = 3m x 20m x 30m = 1800 m³

plugin values into the formula

  1.29 kg/m³   =        mass    

                             1800 m³

mass =  1.29 kg/m³  ( 1800 m³ )

mass = 2322 kg

therefore,

the mass of the air in the classroom = 2322 kg
