AI Thread Summary
To determine the minimal volume of a container needed for 227 grams of powder with a density of 300 grams/liter, the calculation shows that 227 grams divided by 300 grams/liter equals approximately 0.7567 liters. This volume translates to about 25.587 ounces when converted to fluid ounces. The discussion also briefly mentions an additional factor of 1.10, which was deemed unnecessary. The final conclusion is that a container should hold at least 25.587 ounces to accommodate the product.

Conversion from grams/liter to volume of the container

I have a problem that need your help. This is not my homework, it is a friend of my who needs to solve this for his project. Here is the description below:

The product is in powder form (like baking soda). The label weight of the package is 8oz (227grams). The density is 300 grams/liter. What is the minimal volume of the container that is required to fill this product?

Hint: find the overflow capacity of the container

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the PF. This belongs in the Homework Help section anyway, since it is for schoolwork. (I moved it)

If the density is 300 grams/liter, and you have 227 grams, then how much of a liter will that fill? A liter is a measure of volume.

Yes, then how much of a liter will that fill?

My friend came up with this but don't know if this correct.

8oz converted to gram is 227g
227g / 300 g per litter = 0.7567 liter
1 liter = 33.81402 oz
then 0.7567 liter x 33.81402 oz per liter = 25.587 oz
Then 25.587 oz x 1.10 = 28.15 oz

8oz converted to gram is 227g
227g / 300 g per litter = 0.7567 liter
1 liter = 33.81402 oz
then 0.7567 liter x 33.81402 oz per liter = 25.587 oz
Then 25.587 oz x 1.10 = 28.15 oz

The 0.757 liter number looks correct. But where did the 1.10 come from?

You can ignore this 1.10 number.

The answer is

8oz converted to gram is 227g
227g / 300 g per litter = 0.7567 liter
1 liter = 33.81402 oz
then 0.7567 liter x 33.81402 oz per liter = 25.587 oz

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
