What is the weight of a cubic meter of cork? Could you lift it? (For the density of cork, use
Weight of the cork.
To identify: Whether it is possible to lift the cork or not.
Answer to Problem 46A
Weight of cork,
Explanation of Solution
Given :
Volume of cork,
Density of cork,
Formula used :
Where, m is mass, d is density and V is volume.
Where, W is weight, m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity.
Calculation :
Now, substituting the value of d and V and solve.
Acceleration due to gravity,
Now, substituting the value of m and g and solve.
Conclusion :
Therefore, weight of the cork is 3920 N as it is very large so it not possible to lift it.
