Question

A vessel of 4 m3 contains oil which weighs 30 kn. the specific weight of the oil is

Answer 1

Given:

Volume of the vessel

= 4 m³

Weight of oil

= 30 kN

i.e.,

= 30000 N

To find:

The specific weight of oil = ?

Solution:

As we know,

⇒  $S.W \ of \ oil=\frac{Weight \ of \ oil}{Volume \ of \ the \ vessel}$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒                    $=\frac{30000}{4}$

⇒                    $=7,500 \ N/m^3$

The specific weight of oil is "7,500 N/m³".
