A steel casting with a volume of 25 dm3 has a weight of 150 kg. This casting is solid or complete.

If the steel casting under consideration is hollow, then the following inequality will hold: Vf> V and Vf> m / ρс.

Variables and constants: Vf – the actual volume of the considered steel casting (Vf = 25 dm3 = 0.025 m3); m is the mass of the casting (m = 150 kg); ρс – density of steel (ρс = 7800 kg / m3).

Let’s calculate: Vph> m / ρс.

0.025> 150/7800.

0.025> 0.01923 (correct).

Answer: The steel casting in question is hollow.
