Jet fuel in a plane has a mass of 97.5 kg and a density of 0.804 g/cm³. What is the volume of the jet fuel?

Answer :

To find the volume of the jet fuel, you can use the relationship between mass, density, and volume, which is given by the formula:

Density = Mass / Volume


Rearranging this formula to solve for volume gives:

Volume = Mass / density

Given:

Mass (m) = 97.5 kg

Density (p) = 0.804 g/cm^3

First, convert the mass from kilograms to grams, because the density is in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³):

97.5 kg x 1000 g/kg = 97500g

Now use the formula to find the volume:

Volume = 97500 g / 0.804 g /cm^3


Perform the division:

Volume = 97500 / 0.804 ~ 121390.42 cm^2

so the volume of the jet fuel is approximately 121.390.42 cm^3
