Question

If mercury has mass density of 13600kg/m3, its specific weight is…

Answer 1

Answer:

133280

Explanation:

Specific weight = Mass density × 9.8

Specific weight = 13600 × 9.8 = 133280 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

The specific weight of the mercury, γ, calculated is $133416N/m^{2}$ or $133.416\times 10^{3} N/m^{2}$.

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass density of the mercury, ρ = $13600kg/m^{3}$

The mercury's specific weight, γ =?

From the formula of specific weight given below; we can find out the specific gravity of the mercury:

• The specific weight ( γ ) = mass density ( ρ ) × gravity ( g )

As we know, g = acceleration due to gravity = $9.81m/s^{2}$

Therefore,

• $\gamma = \rho \times g$
• $\gamma = 13600 \times 9.81$
• $\gamma = 133416N/m^{2}$ or $133.416\times 10^{3} N/m^{2}$

Hence, the specific weight of the mercury, γ = $133416N/m^{2}$ or $133.416\times 10^{3} N/m^{2}$.
