Answer:

W = 2695.14 lb

Explanation:

given,

side of cube = 3 ft

density of the cube = 3.1 slugs/ft³

we know,

[tex]density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

mass = density x volume

volume = 3³ = 27 ft³

mass =  3.1  x 27

    m = 83.7 slugs.

weight calculation

converting mass from slug to pound

weight of 1 slug is equal to 32.2 lb

now,

weight of the cube is equal to

  W = 83.7 slugs x 32.2 lb/slug

  W = 2695.14 lb

hence, weight is equal to W = 2695.14 lb

The mass of the cube is 1221.48kg

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula that relates mass, volume and density together. But before that, let's write down our given data.

Data;

  • l = 3.0ft
  • ρ = 3.1 slugs/ft^3
  • mass = ?

Density

This is the ratio of mass to volume of a substance.

ρ = m/v

Volume

The volume of a cube is given as

[tex]v = l^3\\v = 3^3 = 27ft^3[/tex]

But to proceed, we should convert the unit of the density into the standard unit as kg/ft^3

[tex]1kg/ft^3=0.06852slugs/ft^3\\xkg/ft^3=3.1slugs/ft^3\\x=3.1/0.06852\\x=45.24kg/ft^3[/tex]

Now that we have the value of density as 45.25kg/ft^3

let's plug our values into the density equation

[tex]p = m/v\\m = p*v\\m = 45.24*27\\m =1221.48kg[/tex]

From the calculations above, the cube have a mass of  1221.48kg
