Find the capacity of the glass vessel if its weight is 50 g and the outer volume is 37 cm3.

The volume of glass from which the vessel is composed is calculated by the formula:

v = m / ρ, where m is the mass of the glass vessel (m = 50 g = 0.05 kg), ρ is the density of the glass (ρ = 2500 kg / m3).

v = m / ρ = 0.05 / 2500 = 0.00002 m3 = 20 cm3.

Glass jar capacity:

V = v1 – v, where v1 is the outer volume of the glass vessel (v1 = 37 cm3).

V = v1 – v = 37 – 20 = 17 cm3.

Answer: The capacity of a glass vessel is 17 cm3.
