Answer:
W = 2695.14 lb
Explanation:
given,
side of cube = 3 ft
density of the cube = 3.1 slugs/ft³
we know,
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
