Question

Clouds can weigh thousands of pounds due to their liquid water content. Often this content is measured in grams per cubic meter(g/m3). Assume that a cumulus cloud occupies a volume of one cubic kilometer, and its liquid water content is 0.2 g/m3.(A) What is the volume of this cloud in cubic miles?(B) How much does the water in the cloud weigh in pounds?

Answer 2

Given:

A cumulus cloud that occupies a volume of one cubic kilometer,

Its liquid water content is 0.2 g/m3.

To Find:

(A). What is the volume of this cloud in cubic miles?

(B). How much does the water in the cloud weigh in pounds?

Solution:

(A). 1km = 1mile / 1.6093.

Thus, 1km³ = (1mile / 1.6093)³

1km³ = 0.2399mi³.

Hence, the volume of the cloud in cubic miles is 0.2399mi³.

(B). Liquid water content in cloud = 0.2 g/m³.

We know that, 1km = 1000m.

so, 1km³ = 1000m³.

Now,

The liquid water content in 1km³ of cloud = 0.2 g/m³ × 1000m³.

which is , = 200 × 10⁶gram.

this can be written as, = 200 × 10³ kg.

Now,

We know that,

1 kg = 2.204 pounds.

So, 200 × 10³ kg = 200×10³ × 2.204 Pounds.

= 440.8 × 10³ Pounds.

Hence, the water in the cloud in pounds is 440.8×10³ Pounds.
