5 liters of water would weigh (in practical situations) 5 kg, so the petrol will be 0.72 times the weight of the water.
If a substance has a density of 0.72 kg per liter, then to find the total mass, multiply .72 times the number of liters. In this case, the mass is 3.6 kg.
The idea is to divide the mass by the volume. If, for example, the mass is in kilograms and the volume is in liters, then the density will have the units kilogram/liter.
There are approximately 1.04 liters in one kilogram.
Since grams is a measure of mass and liters is a measure of volume, you will need to know the density of the fluid in appropriate units. Density is usually tabled in g/cm3 or kg/m3. 1m3=103 liters. Say the density is X kg/m3. Then (Xkg/m3)(1m3/103L)=Xg/L. Then density = mass/volume so that mass is density times volume and volume is mass divided by density.The to you question is thenV(L)=m(g)/density(g/L)
A decrease in density would indicate a reduction in mass relative to the volume. If the mass decreases but the volume remains the same or increases, then the density would decrease.
it is cuz relative density = density of substance/density of water at 4oC.ie. if density of substance is 300 gm cm-3and density of water is 1 gm cm-3therefore : = 300 gm cm-3 / 1 gm cm-3as gm cm-3 is on both side it gets cancelled nHENCE..................THRE IS NO UNIT FOR RELATIVE DENSITY
The density of petrol is 0.8g cm3 which is the same as 800g per litre The mass of petrol supplied is 4Kg = 4000 grams =4000/0.8 = 5000cm3 5000cm3 = 5 litres of petrol. Answered by the longfield BTEC boys.
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
Relative density, is also called specific gravity, and it is the ratio of the density (mass/volume) of a substance to the density of a particular reference substance, usually water. So, where density has the units of mass/volume, relative density (specific gravity) is unitless.
The relative density of a substance X, relative to a substance Y isDensity of X/Density of Y= (Mass of X/Volume of X) / (Mass of Y/Volume of Y)If Y is water then the relative density is called the specific gravity.
When you find the relative density of butter, use the formula for density = mass/volume. First find the mass, or weight of the butter, and then divide the butter by its volume.
mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)
meters, grams, liters Density is mass divided by volume.
mass / volume = density relative density is that compared to water ( 1g / cm3)
you get volume by dividing mass by density or by achimedes/relative density method
Yes they are; they are not the constants that they were once considered to be.
Pounds are a unit of mass, and liters of volume. You can't convert one to the other without knowing the density of the material being measured.
