How much did the mass of the aluminum barrel increase when 200 liters of gasoline were poured into it?
December 27, 2020 | education
| We calculate the mass of gasoline poured into the barrel using the formula:
m = ρ * V, where m is the sought mass of gasoline (kg), ρ is the density of gasoline (we take ρ = 750 kg / m ^ 3), V is the volume of the poured gasoline (V = 200 l = 200 dm ^ 3 = 200 * 10 ^ -3 m ^ 3 = 0.2 m ^ 3).
Let’s calculate the mass of gasoline poured into the barrel:
m = ρ * V = 750 * 0.2 = 150 kg.
Answer: The weight of the aluminum barrel will increase by 150 kg.
