In thermodynamics, specific volume is considered to be an intrinsic property of matter. What we meant by intrinsic property is that, the value of this property does not change no matter the size of the sample. This is opposite to weight or volume which changes depending on the size of the sample.

By mathematical definition, specific volume is the ratio of the substance’s volume to its mass. Or in other words, this is the reciprocal of density.

The formula for density is:

density = mass / volume

Since specific volume is reciprocal so:

Specific volume = 1 / density = volume / mass

 

Calculating:

Specific volume = 100 ft^3 / 5 pounds

Specific volume = 20 ft^3 / pound

 

Or when asked in units of m^3 / kg, we convert:

Specific volume = (20 ft^3 / pound) (2.2 pound / kg) (1 m^3 / 35.3147 ft^3)

Specific volume = 1.246 m^3 / kg

If the length of JK is 3x and the length of LM is 12x and the length of the entire line JM is 25x , find the length of KL.
Leona [35]

Answer:

10x.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

JK = 3x

LM = 12x

JM = 25x

Let as consider the line as shown in the below figure.

From the figure it is clear that,

JK+KL+LM=JM

3x+KL+12x=25x

KL+15x=25x

KL=25x-15x

KL=10x

Therefore, the length of KL is 10x.
