0.768 g/cm^3
ANSWER:Solution 111P :
Given :
Density of fuel = 0.768 g/cm3.
Volume of fuel = 155,211 L
Mass of fuel in Kg = ?
Mass of fuel is :
= Volume of fueldensity of fuel.
Here the volume of fuel is in L and density is in g/cm3. So,let’s convert the volume in L to cm3:
1 L = 1000 cm3
Therefore,155,211 L in cm3 is :
= 155211000 cm3.
