If a certain gasoline weighs 20 lb/ft3, what are the values of its density, specific volume, and specific gravity relative to water?
5. A tank of gasoline has a mass of 1.500 Mg (Mega gram) and a volume of 2.205 x 10^6 cc (cubic
centimeter) *
14,715 dynes
14,715 kg/m^3
14.715 KN
14,715 N/m^3
6. Given the mass of 1.500 Mg and a volume of 2.205 x 10^6 cc, what is the mass density? *
675 kg/m^3
685 Kg/m^3
690 kg/m^3
680 kg/m^3
answer key :
m = 450 kg, W = 45.89N = 10.32lb, m=450kg, W=275.3N

As long as the engines on the spacecraft are not operating, the person is essentially weightless during the voyage. During a course correction, the spacecraft undergoes an acceleration of 0.81 g. The tem "g" is the Earth-normal gravity, so 1 "g" is 9.8 meters per second squared [m's1. This acceleration makes it feel like there is gravity in the spacecraft, and the person will have a perceived weight during the acceleration period, rather than feeling weightless. Once the person reaches Mars, what is the mass, in units of kilograms [kg), and weight, in units of pound-force [lb], of the person on Mars?
