Q:

6 jam jars of volume 0.37 m3 are filled with jam. An empty jam jar has a weight 200g each. the weight of all 6 jars filled with jam is 5400g. Calculate the density of jam using this information.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Density of jam = 11.35 kg/m³Explanation:1- Getting the mass of the jam:We are given that:Jam is put in 6 jarsthe weight of one empty jar = 200 gramsTherefore: weight of 6 empty jars = 6 * 200 = 1200 gramsWe are also given that:Weight of all jars filled with jam is 5400 gramsTherefore:mass of jam = total mass of jam and jars - mass of 6 empty jarsmass of jam = 5400 - 1200mass of jam = 4200 grams2- Getting the volume of the jam:We are given that the 6 jars had a total volume of 0.37 m³ and that they were completely filled with jamThis means that:Volume of jam = 0.37 m³3- Getting the density of jam:Density can be calculated using the following rule:[tex]Density = \frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]We have:Mass of jam = 4200 grams = 4.2 KgVolume of jam = 0.37 m³Therefore:[tex]Density = \frac{4.2}{0.37} = 11.35 kg/m^3[/tex]Hope this helps :)
