Question

The hindenburg zeppelin contained 200,000 m^3 of hydrogen, with a density of 0.0899 kg/m^3. What is the mass of the hydrogen?

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of the hydrogen is 17,980 kilograms

Explanation:

Remember that the density of a material is a function of its mass and its volume. This means that:

$\rho=\frac{m}{V}$

$\rho$ is the density

m is the mass of the object

V is the volume of the object

In this case we have that:

$V = 200,000\ m^3$

$\rho=0.0899\ kg/m^3$

Then:

$0.0899=\frac{m}{200,000}$

Now we solve the equation for m

$m=(0.0899\ kg/m^3)*(200,000\ m^3)$

$m=17,980\ kg$

Answer 2

d=m/v

0.0899=m/200000

or,0.0899*200000=m

m=17980
