Answer to Question #267441 in Mechanics | Relativity for Ecagirl

Question

A reservoir of glycerin has a mass of 1200 kg and a volume of 0.952 m3

. Find the

glycerin’s weight (W), density (𝜌), specific weight (𝛾), and specific gravity (SG).

Answer 1

glycerin’s weight (W)

$F= W = ma = (1200)(9.81) = 11770N or 11.77kN$

density (𝜌)

$\rho = \frac{m}{V} = \frac{1200}{0.952} =1261kg/m^3$

specific weight (𝛾)

$\gamma = \frac{W}{V} =\frac{11.77}{0.952} =12.36kN/m^3$

specific gravity (SG)

$SG = V3,./yflzo Mac = \frac{12.36}{9.81} =1.26$
