The mass of fuel in an airplane must be determined before takeoff. A jet contains 13427 L of fuel after it has been filled with fuel. What is the mass of the fuel in kilograms if the fuel’s density is 0.769 g/cm^3? Express your answer in kilograms to three significant figures.
EXPERT ANSWER Mass of fuel = 10,325.363 kg or 1.03 x 104 kg Explanation : Volume of fuel = 13427 L Density of fuel = 0.769 g /cm^3 We have to change the unit of density —> 1 cm^3 = 0.001 L So, 0.769 g/cm^3 = 0.769 g / 0.001 L = 769 g/L Now, Use …
