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.
