Question

What is the engine piston displacement in liters of an engine whose displacement is listed as 490 in^3?

Answer 1

Answer:

490 in^3 = 8.03 L

Explanation:

Given:

The engine displacement = 490 in^3

= 490 in³

To determine the engine piston displacement in liters L;

(NOTE: Both in^3 (in³) and L are units of volume). Hence, to find the engine piston displacement in liters (L), we will convert in^3 to liters (L)

First, we will convert in³ to cm³

Since 1 in = 2.54 cm

∴ 1 in³ = 16.387 cm³

If 1 in³ = 16.387 cm³

Then 490 in³ =  (490 in³ × 16.387 cm³) / 1 in³ = 8029.63 cm³

∴ 490 in³ = 8029.63 cm³

Now will convert cm³ to dm³

(NOTE: 1 L = 1 dm³)

1 cm = 1 × 10⁻² m = 1 × 10⁻¹ dm

∴ 1 cm³ = 1 × 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1 × 10⁻³ dm³

If 1 cm³ = 1 × 10⁻³ dm³

Then, 8029.63 cm³ = (8029.63 cm³ × 1 × 10⁻³ dm³) / 1 cm³ = 8.02963 dm³

≅ 8.03 dm³

∴ 8029.63 cm³ = 8.03 dm³

Hence, 490 in³ = 8029.63 cm³ = 8.03 dm³

Since 1L = 1 dm³

∴ 8.03 dm³ = 8.03 L

Hence, 490 in³ = 8.03 L

Answer 2

An engine piston displacement of 490 in³ is equivalent to 8.03 L.

The engine piston displacement is 490 in³ and we want to convert it to liters. Since both of them are units of volume, we will need one or more conversion factors.

What is a conversion factor?

A conversion factor is an arithmetical multiplier for converting a quantity expressed in one set of units into an equivalent expressed in another.

• Step 1: Convert 490 in³ to cm.

We will use the conversion factor 1 in = 2.54 cm.

490 in³ × (2.54 cm/1 in)³ = 8.03 × 10³ cm³

• Step 2: Convert 8.03 × 10³ cm³ to L.

We will use the conversion factor 1 L = 1000 cm³.

8.03 × 10³ cm³ × (1 L/1000 cm³) = 8.03 L

An engine piston displacement of 490 in³ is equivalent to 8.03 L.
