What is the mass of kerosene that can be placed in a 0.02 m3 can?

V = 0.02 cubic meters – can capacity;

ro = 800 kilograms per cubic meter – the density of kerosene.

It is required to determine m (kilogram) – what mass of kerosene can be placed in a can with a capacity of V.

To determine the mass of kerosene, you must use the following formula:

ro = m / V, hence:

m = ro * V = 800 * 0.02 = 16 kilograms.

Answer: kerosene weighing 16 kilograms can be placed in a can with a capacity of 0.02 cubic meters (20 liters).
