The density of glycerin is 1.26 grams/centimeters^3 . How many pounds/foot^3 is this? Use the conversion rates of 454grams/1pound and 28,317centimeters^3/1foot^3 . Express your answer to the correct number of significant figures.The density is ___ pounds/foot^3

Respuesta :

Answer: The density of glycerine is [tex]78.589\frc{pounds}{foot^3}[/tex]

Explanation: We are given density of glycerine in [tex]gram/cm^3[/tex] which is [tex]1.26g/cm^3[/tex]

To convert t into [tex]pounds/foot^3[/tex], we are given conversion rates:

454 grams = 1 pound

So, 1 gram will be equal to [tex]\frac{1}{454}pounds[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]28317cm^3=1foot^3[/tex]

So, [tex]1cm^3[/tex] will be equal to [tex]\frac{1}{28317}foot^3[/tex]

Converting the density of glycerin from [tex]g/cm^3[/tex] to [tex]pounds/foot^3[/tex] using above conversion rates, we get:

[tex]\frac{1.26g}{cm^3}=(\frac{1.26}{454}\times \frac{28317}{1})\frac{pounds}{foot^3}[/tex]

[tex]1.26g/cm^3=78.589pounds/foot^3[/tex]

Density of glycerin is [tex]78.589\frc{pounds}{foot^3}[/tex]

The density of glycerine has been 78.589 [tex]\rm \bold{pounds/foot^3}[/tex].

The density can be defined as the mass of a substance per unit volume. The density of glycerine has been 1.26 [tex]\rm \bold{g/cm^3}[/tex].

The unit can be converted as:

454 grams = 1 pound

1 grams = [tex]\rm \dfrac{1}{454}[/tex] pounds.

28,317 [tex]\rm cm^3[/tex] = 1 [tex]\rm foot^3[/tex]

1 [tex]\rm cm^3[/tex] = [tex]\rm \dfrac{1}{28,317}\;cm^3[/tex]

The units have been converted by the conversion of mass as well grams in the desired unit. Since 1 gram has been x pounds then y grams has been x times of y.

The density of glycerine has been:

[tex]\rm \dfrac{1.26\;g}{1\;cm^3}[/tex] = [tex]\rm \dfrac{1.26\;g}{1\;cm^3}\;\times\;\dfrac{\frac{1}{454}\;pounds }{\frac{1}{28,317}\;foot^3 }[/tex]

= [tex]\rm \dfrac{1.26\;\times\;454}{28,317}\;pounds/foot^3[/tex]

= 78.589 [tex]\rm \bold{pounds/foot^3}[/tex]

The density of glycerine has been 78.589 [tex]\rm \bold{pounds/foot^3}[/tex].
