Question

The density (mass//volume) of aluminum is 5.26 slug/ft3slug/ft3. Determine its density in SI units. Use an appropriate prefix.

Answer 1

Answer:

density of aluminium in SI unit will be $2712.338kg/m^3$

Explanation:

We have given density of aluminium is 5.26 $slug/ft^3$

We have to change this unit into SI unit

Si unit of density is $kg/m^3$ as kg and $m^3$ both are SI unit

Now we know that 1 slug = 14.593 kg

And 1 cubic feet = 0.0283 cubic meter

So 5.26 $slug/ft^3$ will be equal to $5.26\times \frac{14.593kg}{0.0283m^3}=2712.338kg/m^3$

So density of aluminium in SI unit will be $2712.338kg/m^3$
