Question: The record for the largest glass bottle was set in 1992 by a team in Millville, New Jersey—they blew a bottle with a volume of 193 U.S. fluid gallons. (a) How much short of 1.0 million cubic centimeters is that? (b) If the bottle were filled with water at the leisurely rate of 1.8 g/min, how long would the filling take? Water has a density of 1000 kg/m3.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer:

  1. The volume is 269,417.8 cm3 short of 1 million cm3 .
  2. It would take 405,879 minutes tofill the bottle with water.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The volume of fluid that filled the bottle is 193 us gallons .

The rate of flow of water is 18 g/min.

Density of density of water is 1000 kg/m3.

02

Understanding the density 

factor for converting the US gallons to cubic centimeters.

The expression for the density is given as follows:

ρ=mv … (i)

Here, ρis the density, m is the mass and v is the volume.

03

(a) Conversion of US gallons into cubic centimeters

Using the converted values, find the shortfall.

First, 193 US Gallons convert into cm3.

1 US Gallons = 3785.4cm3

93USGallons=93USGallons×3785.4cm31gallon=730582.2cm2

Subtracting it from to get amount of water.

1000,000-730582.2 =269,417.8cm3

Thus, it is 269,417.8 cm3 short of 1 million cm3 .

04

(b) Conversion into cubic meters from cubic centimeters

Now to find how long it takes to fill the bottle, convert the volume into m3..

The conversion factor for

1cm3=1×10-6m3to m3.

Use the conversion factor to convert

role="math" localid="1651656536091" 730,582.2cm3intom3730,582.2cm3=730,582.2cm31×10-6m31cm3=0.7305822m3

So, volume of water in cubic meter is 0.7305822m3.

05

Determination of the mass of water

Usingequation(i),themassofwateriscalculatedasfollows:m=ρ×v=1000kg/m3×0.7305822m3=7305822kgSo,themassofwaterfilledis7305822kg.

06

 Step 6: Determination of the time to fill the bottle

Now,convertthe1.8gm/minrateintokg/min1gm=0.001kg1.8gmin0.001kg1gm=0.0018kgminThetimerequiredtofillthebottleiscalculatedast=730,5822kg0.0018kgmin=405,879min:Thus,itwilltake405,879mintofillthebottle.

Question: For about 10 years after the French Revolution, the French government attempted to base measures of time on multiples of ten: One week consisted of 10 days, one day consisted of 10 hours, one hour consisted of 100 minutes, and one minute consisted of 100 seconds. What are the ratios of (a) the French decimal week to the standard week and (b) the French decimal second to the standard second?

An airport terminal has a moving sidewalk to speed passengers through a long corridor. Larry does not use the moving sidewalk; he takes 150 sto walk through the corridor. Curly, who simply stands on the moving sidewalk, covers the same distance in 70 s. Moe boards the sidewalk and walks along it. How long does Moe take to move through the corridor? Assume that Larry and Moe walk at the same speed.

You can easily convert common units and measures electronically, but you still should be able to use a conversion table, such as those in Appendix D. Table 1-6 is part of a conversion table for a system of volume measures once common in Spain; a volume of 1 fanega is equivalent to 55.501 dm3 (cubic decimeters). To complete the table, what numbers (to three significant figures) should be entered in (a) the cahiz column, (b) the fanega column, (c) the cuartilla column, and (d) the almude column, starting with the top blank? Express 7.00 almudes in (e) medios, (f) cahizes, and (g) cubic centimeters (cm3)
