QuestionFind the volume of a 480 kg piece of copper in liters.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The mass of the copper piece is480 kg. The density of copper is approximately8.96 g/cm³ (or8960 kg/m³ when converted to kg/m³)
3. We want to find the volume in liters, and1 m³ is equivalent to1000 liters

STEP 2

First, we need to find the volume of the copper piece. We can do this by using the formula for volume when mass and density are known.
$Volume = \frac{Mass}{Density}$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the mass and density to calculate the volume.
$Volume = \frac{480\, kg}{8960\, kg/m³}$

STEP 4

Calculate the volume in cubic meters.
$Volume = \frac{480}{8960} =0.05357\, m³$

STEP 5

Now that we have the volume in cubic meters, we can convert this to liters by using the conversion factor that1 m³ is equivalent to1000 liters.
$Volume =0.05357\, m³ \times1000\, liters/m³$

STEP 6

Calculate the volume in liters.
$Volume =0.05357 \times1000 =53.57\, liters$ The volume of the copper piece is approximately53.57 liters.
