The weight of a bucket filled with honey is 150 N. Determine the density of honey

The weight of a bucket filled with honey is 150 N. Determine the density of honey if the weight of the bucket is 1 kg and its capacity is 10 liters.

Initial data: P (weight of a bucket filled with honey) = 150 N; m (own weight of the bucket) = 1 kg; V (bucket capacity) = 10 l (10 * 10-3 m3).

Reference data: g (acceleration due to gravity) ≈ 10 m / s2.

1) The mass of a bucket with honey: m1 = P / g = 150/10 = 15 kg.

2) The mass of honey in a bucket: m2 = m1 – m = 15 – 1 = 14 kg.

3) Density of honey: ρm = m2 / V = 14 / (10 * 10-3) = 1400 kg / m3.

Answer: According to the calculation, the density of honey is 1400 kg / m3.
