Step-by-step explanation:
Given A shipping container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 1 feet, a width of 9.5 feet, and a height of 2.5 feet. The container is completely filled with contents that weigh, on average, 0.46 pound per cubic foot. What is the weight of the contents in the container, to the nearest pound?
- Now a shipping container is in the shape of a rectangular prism which will be a cuboid with length = 1 foot, width = 9.5 ft and height = 2.5 ft.
- Therefore volume of right rectangular prism will be 1 x 9.5 x 2.5
- = 23.75 cubic feet
- Therefore contents in container will be Density = 0.46 pounds per cubic foot
- Now Density = Mass / Volume
- Density = weight of contents in container / volume of container
- 0.46 = W / 23.75
- Or W = 46 x 23.75
- Or W = 1092.5 pounds
Therefore weight of the contents in container will be 1092 pounds
