Question
By how many newtons do you increase the weight of your car when you fill up your 11.5 gal gas tank with gasoline? A gallon is equal to 3.788 $\mathrm{L}$ and the density of gasoline is 737 $\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ .
Step 1
We know that 1 gallon is equal to 3.788 $\times 10^{-3}$ cubic meters. So, the volume of the gas tank in cubic meters is: \[ V = 11.5 \, \text{gal} \times 3.788 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^{3}/\text{gal} \] Show more…
