A large bucket of water has a volume of 5 gallons or 1.89 x 10-2 m3. If the density of water is 1,000 kg/m3, how much does the bucket of water weigh in Newtons? A heavy box is resting on the floor. The box bottom has dimensions of 0.60 m by 1.0 m. The height of the box is 0.50 m. The box and its contents have a total mass of 150 kg. Find the pressure exerted on the floor by the box.

Step 1
Given: Volume of water = 1.89 x 10^-2 m^3 Density of water = 1000 kg/m^3 Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2 Weight = Density x Volume x Gravity Weight = 1000 kg/m^3 x 1.89 x 10^-2 m^3 x 9.8 m/s^2 Weight = 185.22 kg Show more…
