Question

1. The gravitational constant G is $2.4 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}^3 \text{ min}^{-2} \text{ kg}^{-1}$. What is G in units of $\text{cm}^3 \text{ s}^{-1} \text{ g}^{-1}$? 2. Petrol consumption in Europe is measured in litres (L) per 100 km while in the United States it is measured in miles (mi) per gallon (gal). The consumption of a certain car in Europe is 20 L per 100 km. Convert the consumption to mi gal$^{-1}$. 1 gal = 231 inch$^3$

Step 1

To convert from m^3 to cm^3, we need to multiply by (100 cm)^3 / (1 m)^3 = 10^6 cm^3 / m^3. To convert from kg to g, we need to multiply by 1000 g / 1 kg. Therefore, to convert G from m^3 kg^(-1) s^(-2) to cm^3 g^(-1) s^(-2), we multiply by (10^6 cm^3 / m^3) * Show more…

Texts: The gravitational constant G is 2.4 x 10^-9 m^3 kg^(-1) s^(-2). What is G in units of cm^3? Petrol consumption in Europe is measured in litres (L) per 100 km, while in the United States it is measured in miles (mi) per gallon (gal). The consumption of a certain car in Europe is 20 L per 100 km. Convert the consumption to mi/gal. (1 gal = 231 in^3)
