A cylinder with a base diameter of 3m, and a height of 5m is filled with a liquid of 24kg/m3 density. if the container itself weighs 120kg, what is the total weight of the cylinder with the liquid?

Sagot :

First find the volume of the cylinder,
V= pi*r^2*h
V= pi*1.5^2*5
we get V = 17.67 m^3
multiply the density of the liquid to the volume of the container
24kg/m^3 * 17.67 m^3 = 424.08 kg
Then, add it to the mass of the container 424.08 + 120 = 544. 08 kg
W=mg=(544.08)*(9.81) = 5337.43 Newtons
Thus, Weight = 5337.43 N
