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

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 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
