Question

Find the weights of gelatin and butter contained in a cubic box with a side dimension of 0.03 cm. Gelatin

has a density of 79 lb/ft3 while butter has a density of 53 lb/f

Answer 1

The dimensions of the box in feet: 0.03 cm is 0.000984252 ft.

The mass of butter and gelatin:

$$M_g=\rho_g V=7.53\cdot10^{-8}\text{ lb}.\\ M_b=\rho_b V=5.10\cdot10^{-8}\text{ lb}.$$
