The mass of the canister with gasoline is 4 kg. The mass of the canister is 400 g.

The mass of the canister with gasoline is 4 kg. The mass of the canister is 400 g. determine the volume of gasoline in the canister.

Initial data: m1 (mass of a can with gasoline) = 4 kg, m2 (mass of a can) = 400 g.

Constants: ρ (gasoline density) = 710 kg / m ^ 3.

SI system: m = 400 g = 0.4 kg.

1) Determine the mass of gasoline in the canister:

m = m1 – m2 = 4 – 0.4 = 3.6 kg.

2) Determine the volume of gasoline in the canister:

V = m / ρ = 3.6 / 710 ≈ 0.005 m ^ 3 = 5 dm ^ 3 = 5 l.

Answer: The volume of gasoline in a canister is 5 liters.
