Question

A 0.5 m3 container is filled with a fluid whose specific volume is 0.001 m3/kg. At standard gravitational acceleration, the contents of this container weigh:

Answer 1

Answer: the contents of this container weighs 4905 kg.m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

volume of a container V = 0.5 m³

we know that standard gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s²

specific volume of liquid filled in the container v = 0.001 m³/kg

now we express the equation for weight of the container.

W = mg

W = (pV)g

W = Vg / ν

so we substitute

W =  (0.5 m³)(9.81 m/s ) / 0.001 m³/kg

W = 4.905 / 0.001

W = 4905 kg.m/s²

Therefore, the contents of this container weighs 4905 kg.m/s²
